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 FRA review has comprehensive and extensive reports from 2017 and 2015 which we quote in our submissions and that goes through all the member states of the European Union and describes various attributes of their oversight bodies. I think it was Belgium that had a very good model in terms of independent judges, technical support sufficient resources, reports to Parliament and public reports. This is a great report that gives comprehensive examples of piecemeal ideas that can be brought together as a whole.
