Mr. Vivian Geiran:

Disclosure is a very sensitive issue and I agree with Dr. Fitzgerald-O'Reilly's points. She described how of the two pieces of legislation being considered by the committee, it is probably the provision that requires the most caution and care in how it is framed and its subsequent implementation. It has great potential for harm as well as good.

The general data protection regulation, GDPR, came into effect earlier this year. Within the legislation which implements the GDPR, there are specific provisions around the law enforcement directive and that is probably the main area in which we would be provided as criminal justice agencies in the sharing of information.
