I questioned the legal experts that the Minister had looking at this matter. I raised the case of six Irish barristers, all of whom are leaders in the field as regards the general data protection regulation, who stated categorically that this is in breach of the GDPR. The Minister laughed at that which I do not understand. It is interesting to look at the freedom of information, FOI, requests that have been made and the information that has been provided. The Department seems to have a great regard for what these experts had to say, so much so that it virtually trolled Simon McGarr. Any contributions Mr. McGarr made online went back to officials in the Department to get a view and an analysis.

On the one hand, the Minister seems to be dismissing these experts-----
