Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

I will not mention the figure, which will run to millions of euro, because I do not know the precise cost. We do not know what the staffing requirements in each local authority will be. I have told the local authorities that I will make money available. I will discuss this issue with the Deputy, other spokespersons and the committee as required. Regarding the proposition to transfer names and addresses, data protection and privacy issues will arise post hoc, but I will consider the suggestion.
