Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of Horse Racing Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

2:10 pm

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

Yes, this is to illustrate the changes. There is a definition of "data" and "data subject". This is because one of the streamlining proposals relates to the amalgamation of databases maintained in The Turf Club, the racing regulatory body and HRI. There is a provision later in the general scheme, which I will come to, which provides for an adjustment to the data protection provisions to allow for this amalgamation of databases. It is probably best discussed in detail when we come to the later head. Anyway, the purpose of the definition is simply to link in to the later head. It is probably best discussed we come to the detailed provisions.
