Patrick O'Donovan (Limerick County, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have already made my officials available. We have extended an open invitation for people to engage with us on the matter, but, unfortunately, it has not been taken up. However, I am more than willing to have that level of engagement before Report Stage. The debate in the Seanad should be looked at in the round, rather than in isolation. Article 9 of the GDPR is referred to specifically later in the Bill. I do not want a contradiction to emerge between section 7 and later sections which would make the Bill’s passage difficult. I am happy to revert to these amendments again on Report Stage.
