I move amendment No. 61:

In page 20, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following: “(5) (a) Where a request under subsection (1) relates, in whole or in part, to special categories of personal data, the Executive shall adopt suitable and specific measures to protect the data, which may include:
(i)limitations on access to the data undergoing processing within the Executive in order to prevent unauthorised consultation, alteration, disclosure or erasure of the data;

(ii)strict time limits for the erasure of the data and mechanisms to ensure that such time limits are observed;

(iii)specific targeted training for those involved in processing operations;

(iv)technical and organisational measures to ensure respect for the principle of data minimisation, including pseudonymisation provided that the purposes of the data processing can be fulfilled in that manner.
(b) The Executive shall consult the Data Protection Commission on the suitable and specific measures it proposes to adopt under paragraph (a).”.
