Mr. Ray Gray:

We do not police the collection of data.

There are rules and regulations that are very clearly set out for commercial companies and there are obviously rules and regulations set out for the State. I would love to be able to assist the Deputy more but I am unable to provide him with any further information. Both in Dublin and Cork, DAA is doing everything it is required to do in fulfilment of its mandate both where data on passengers is concerned and in facilitating handlers, the State authorities, our customers and airlines.
