Mr. Barry Lowry:

We have discussed it. The Department of enterprise is going to be responsible for it, but it is for a very specific use with SMEs. We have sandbox technology as well and we use in a slightly different way. There are obviously various definitions of what a sandbox is. The Deputy gave a definition at one of these meeting when he talked about synonymized or synthetic data. We set up a sandbox for testing our EU compatible digital Government wallet, and that was using real data with a group of volunteers. Obviously we wanted to test the user experience and we needed to use real data for that. With their permission, we downloaded electronic ID, proofs of age and driving licences and they were able to give us feedback on the look of the credential on the phone and so on. We used that to build a second pilot which was with more than 550 people. The first pilot was 70 people. We believe we have got it at the stage where we can launch it this year in beta format and get more feedback from it. Our volunteers were public servants and partners.
