Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Data Protection Package: Discussion with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner

10:15 am

Mr. Billy Hawkes:

That comes back to a point raised by Senator Ivana Bacik. Once a person consents to it, for example, by saying, "I wish to exclude myself from gambling because I have a compulsion in this area and I am happy to be excluded from all gambling sites", he or she is giving consent and there is not an issue in that regard.
