There is work to be done in that area.

I have a final question. I refer to the consequences of the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, coming into play in regard to the respective roles of Members of both the Dáil and the Seanad. Any number of questions have been posed by Members as to whether they need to appoint a data protection officer. What is our respective position regarding the outworking of the new legislation? A raft of different questions have been posed. As representatives of the people who are meeting with members of the public on an almost daily basis and taking detailed personal information to assist them as a chosen representative in whatever particular case they want assistance, from the questions posed, even in terms of the current position, never mind the changes envisaged, it would be very helpful if some briefing could be prepared for Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas, many of whom are new Members since last year. The questions posed are reasonable. The proposal would be either to have Ms Dixon's office issue a briefing to the Members of both Houses or at some point in time, whether it is post or prior to the passage of the legislation - it is a call of its own choosing - to come here and brief Members of the Dáil and Seanad on the impact of the consequential outworking of the new legislation with regard to their roles and responsibilities. How would Ms Dixon respond to that?
