I do not know whether the Minister is aware that the Data Protection Commissioner's office confirmed only two weeks' ago that even after the changes she introduced in April to the primary online database, that it still might not be legal. Could the Minister confirm whether further legislation is required to underpin her proposals on the primary online database, if a further review is to take place, or if she expects to again change some of the proposals contained within a system, which as the she said, is already up and running? It is a major issue for the Data Protection Commissioner's office to raise concerns about the information that is being collated by the Department. Unless legislation is introduced, the data that is requested to be transferred might not be taken, stored and retained on a fully legal basis. Could the Minister elaborate on the legal basis of the information and its storage?
