So there's a lot of potential once you have that core information in the background, Jess, and it's held in a consistent, standardised way.

That gives us massive potential.

So this isn't going to be one big bang.

It's gradually going to evolve over the next number of years.

And our aim is to have at least three releases a year with new capability, new functions and new data for the public.

Yeah, it's built in by design, Jess.

So there's a couple of levels to that.

The first thing is to access your information on the app.

You must have a government ID, which is the Government Authentication Service.

So that's the most secure form of access for any digital information that you're going to access in the state.

And that's really important.

And you'll see Minister Chambers talk recently in some consultation about the government wallet.

Again, the government ID will be the input to that also.

So that's number one.

So that's really important.

Separately then in terms of our Chief Information Security Office that's built up,

Over recent years, post the cyber attack that the HSE had many years ago, a huge amount has been invested in that area.

And again, there's a process that every application has to go through to be certified from a cybersecurity perspective.

That doesn't guarantee everything.

We know that risk is there.
