Alan Kelly: We will give the agency three weeks if it wants them but I find it offensive and wrong to say it would take three weeks to just go and look at 17 files and say "this is in this category...". There are people and families watching this who would find it bizarre and wrong that it would take three weeks for a public servant to go through 17 files and say "this gets into this category." There...

Alan Kelly: We will give the agency three weeks. I do not agree with Mr. Breen but we will give the agency three weeks. Mr. Breen might continue with the answers to my questions.

Alan Kelly: We all know about GDPR. If I looked under FOI or submitted a data protection request for all the information the NTMA and its subsidiaries or related agencies had relating to me, I presume the NTMA would comply and give me everything.

Alan Kelly: Is that correct? Do all the witnesses agree? Does anyone across the way have anything alternative to say to that? Does anyone disagree with the contention that the NTMA would give over that information?

Alan Kelly: I know Mr. Breen knows where I am going with this. I have been contacted by the solicitor of a family of one of the women who, unfortunately, passed away and who was one of the group of 221 women. I am sorry to have to read this off my phone but I did not get a chance to print it out because I came in here straightaway. They submitted an FOI request to the NTMA, which was really to the...

Alan Kelly: I will do the following: I will give Mr. Breen the details, confidentially. Let me say this on the public record: I think what is happening is wrong and disgraceful. In a scenario such as this, there is a real moral duty to give over the information to families when they request it. The State Claims Agency should facilitate that and I am requesting that it do so within the next 24 hours.

Alan Kelly: I have a final question. Mr. Breen can take a break because it is not a question for him. It relates to ISIF. I want to get this question on the record. ISIF and what it is used for are important. Some investments relate to various energy projects and a range of other potential investments. When it comes to investments and working with State bodies, does the NTMA believe that such...

Alan Kelly: It is a "Yes" or "No" answer. All I want to know is whether there has ever been a situation for ISIF in which Mr. O'Kelly believes that a State body has not put forward a project in a way in which ISIF can invest.
