The ROS system has been an administratively successful system. It can be done in an Irish context. At this stage, the ROS system must be 15 years old or more.

I have a broader question. Prior to computers everything was manual, and systems were based on the written word. Everything is now moving towards data access, the cloud and so on. Has the legal framework that was in place to protect people's fundamental rights prior to the computer age kept pace with change?
