Mr. David Moloney:
I have explained to the committee previously the steps we took to assess whether there was an appetite to maintain Benefacts on behalf of any of the relevant agencies including the CSO. As I explained previously, the CSO, when afforded the opportunity to take over the database and do what Benefacts does, did not take it over. I am not really in a position to assess why it did not take it over but it was offered ample opportunity to do so.
