General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion
James Lawless (Kildare North, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I thank Dr. Logue. Before I bring in the next speaker, for the information of members I will mention that Deputy Pringle and Deputy Creed are the final two speakers I have noted for this first round. May I ask Dr. Logue a supplementary follow-up question? He mentioned the need for better legislation. Is he suggesting that the Data Protection Act 2018 should be extended or amended or is he suggesting legislation to deal with ancillary scenarios or how the GDPR is to be implemented in various sectors or contexts? Is he suggesting a code of conduct? I believe codes of conduct already exist for certain sectors. Is he suggesting that legislation in which the GDPR is featured should become part of other sector-specific legislation? What exactly is he suggesting? Will he finish on that point?
