That is the point. There is a challenge in the report about the card not being an enabler.

On a couple of occasions the Minister commented that she was very surprised the Data Protection Commissioner was not acceding to a request for a meeting. Did the commissioner not say that this was a final report? Once a report is final, one either accepts it or does not accept it. There is not a meeting because it is a final report. From reading the report it appears that the commissioner was heavily engaged with the Department during her consultations, and that was the time for engagement with her. Does the Minister agree that the reason no meeting has happened is because it is a final report?
