General Scheme of Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion

9:40 am

Mr. Seamus Carroll:

I will make a very brief comment. Perhaps the Data Protection Commissioner will comment on this afterwards. It is very important for data controllers to gear up now. I am sure that litigation cannot be entirely avoided in the future because this is inevitably the result of creating higher standards and new rights. However, the more an awareness is created and adjustments are made in advance of this legislation, the smaller the risk of costly and lengthy litigation.
