General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion
9:00 am

I put a question to the previous delegation. The Murray report recommends that persons whose rights have been affected by wrongful access to retained data should have an appropriate judicial remedy, which has been backed up by EU legislation and the European Court of Human Rights. The general scheme of the Bill does not provide for this. The Department stated that it was examining this issue and had not made up its mind yet. What do the witnesses have to say on this matter?
