I move amendment No. 1:

In page 3, between lines 21 and 22, to insert the following:" "data" has the same meaning as it has in the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003;".

These amendments have been introduced to bring clarity to the meaning of "data" and "personal data" within the Bill. The Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 automatically apply to any processing of data within the State, including processing of data under the Bill. The amendments simply confirm the meaning of the terms used in the Bill to bring it into line with that used in the Data Protection Acts. These technical amendments are important.
