General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Simon McGarr:
Given that the incentives to a person sitting in jail to seek to challenge his or her conviction are quite substantial and the legal pathway by which such a conviction could be challenged if this evidence had been used in those circumstances is quite clear to any practitioner, I cannot imagine circumstances where there would not be a challenge, even apart from a challenge from an NGO.
