Louise O'Reilly: There are going to be resource implications. I am just trying to get a handle on what resources exist currently. Will they be beefed up or is it the intention to buy in some of that expertise? Perhaps we can tease that out. Anything to do with data protection is extremely important in every area, but especially in this area. Data protection will be absolutely essential in this area and...

I thank the witnesses for their time...
