I will now go back to a point about the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport raised earlier. Presumably that Department went to and received advice from the Attorney General on such an issue. Would the Department go outside for advice on it? It is extraordinary that the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, and now the Passport Office, are at variance with the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection on the findings of the Data Protection Commissioner. That is certainly how it reads. Perhaps the Minister will comment on that.
