I propose to take Questions Nos. 61 to 63, inclusive, 69 and 70 together.

NAMA notified the Data Protection Commissioner in Autumn 2012. I am advised that, following consultation with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner, NAMA has followed best practice as set out in the Data Protection Commissioner's Code of Practice in respect of security breaches.  

In addition to its obligations under Data Protection, NAMA has at all times acted in accordance with the instructions of the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation. 

Information on the number of debtors potentially affected is held by the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation which carried out the investigation which led to the prosecution of the former NAMA official.
