Frank McBrearty is a friend of mine and he would have no objection to me raising the issue. Even though he has been convicted of no charge, he was detained. In the case of anyone who has stood trial and been acquitted, we need to be careful about transfer of data and how the legislation applies. We may have data and details of citizens within the State and another jurisdiction may have a different approach.
