If the Leas-Cheann Comhairle does not object, I wish to make a final point which is key in terms of answering the question the Deputy tabled.

The HSE is considering plans to monitor practices at social care facilities through the use of surveillance cameras, undercover persons or any other means. However, we are very conscious of potential difficulties that could arise in the context of privacy and data protection. Given the complex issues involved, we have decided to engage expert consultants to advise on the best way to proceed.
