General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Liam Herrick:
We have reflected on those issues raised in the Murray review and the Bill. This is an important issue on which we need to reflect. Deputy O'Callaghan's comment about being more specific about journalistic sources is a very helpful one. He is absolutely correct and we endorse those comments completely. It is about a very specific circumstance that we are talking but it has been the subject of extensive jurisprudence in the Strasbourg court.
