That is fine. My next question is on the operation of the freedom of information request. As many Deputies are aware, if a freedom of information request is made about an individual, that individual must be notified. I checked the Freedom of Information Act this morning and the explanatory memorandum states that this process must be initiated within ten working days of receiving a freedom of information request. It is not a case of me having to telephone an official to ask if a freedom of information request has been submitted about me. If a freedom of information request is submitted about an individual, the person in question must be notified. Has the Chairman been notified of other freedom of information requests related to his tenure as Minister of State?
