Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Ms Elizabeth Farries:

The ICCL shares the view that a more holistic review of this legislation, in conjunction with other legislative pieces, is necessary. We agree with what Mr. McIntyre said last week to the effect that there has been a reactive, piecemeal and fragmented response to the various issues that have been raised and to the controversies that have happened over the past ten years. I cannot speak to the remit of the specific items of legislation to which the Deputy referred but I certainly agree that we need a multi-legislative review.
