I move amendment No. 10:

In page 15, between lines 14 and 15, to insert the following:“(3) A mechanism shall be provided to allow a person to whom a service is being or is to be delivered by a public body to instruct that public body that they do not regard collection of their personal data by any public body directly or on a case by case basis as burdensome and in such an instance subsection (2)(ii)(III) shall not apply.”.

I put it to the Minister of State during the break earlier that the issue of the Revenue Commissioners and penalty points being in the public interest would not arise. GDPR allows for public interest issues. There is no obligation to consent on matters of public interest.
