In respect of the public services card, while I appreciate this legislation sets out the situations where the public services card can be used, we need to ensure it does not become a mandatory requirement in...

Mr. John McKernan: There was one other question about the public services card that I will ask Mr. Duggan to answer, but before I do it is worthwhile mentioning, on the issue of the broad campaign, that part of the purpose of the campaign is to increase awareness among people so that they do not fall into fraud accidentally. People need to update us and let us know if their circumstance...

Alice-Mary Higgins: I have a brief technical question on the public services card. Under the legislation there needs to be a justification for each use or sharing of data.

They are just exercising that ability right now. There is no extension. The public services card is for public service purposes by those bodies already specified in the legislation.
