I move amendment No. 1:

In page 29, between lines 32 and 33, to insert the following:"36.Data may not be transferred to another jurisdiction for the purposes of it being used against an individual who has already stood trial and been acquitted in this jurisdiction.".

We raised this in the context of the debate on what has become the Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2015 and the Minister, Deputy Fitzgerald, suggested that - as a matter on which to seek clarification and assurance - it might be more appropriate to this Bill. That is the background to the amendment.
