General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. Ronan Lupton:
It is very difficult to put that in context but I would say we are looking at double-digit millions. We are looking at probably €1 million to €2 million for the developments around production preservation per operator. If we say there are probably 30 to 40 operators or maybe more, and it could be up to 50 operators that would need to get their houses in order to comply with this, we are looking at in or around the €50 million to €100 million mark just to comply with the changes as they are. That is my estimate. It is very difficult to give the Deputy homework on this given that the scheme was only given to us last week. My best guess is around that figure, however.
