I went through this process when I tabled amendments on section 263 of the Social Welfare Bill before Christmas. I specifically proposed amendments on how photographic information could be used and to preclude it from being checked against databases of biometric information, pending a clear direction on the practice. The amendment was not accepted but on looking closer at the legislation, one can see that the provisions are not there.
