I want to ask about the Data Protection Commissioner's report into the public services card, which to date has cost up to €60 million. The report was carried out to examine whether the card and related systems fully complied with Irish law following a number of concerns around the purpose of the card, including the legal basis for its introduction. The Irish Council for Civil Liberties, which requested the report under freedom of information, was refused it. Why is this report being hidden away from the public? Does the Taoiseach think it is in the public interest that this report is published? Will he ensure the report is published in full? When will that happen?
