Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Cyber Security: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Justice John Quirke:

We are getting into evidence and I agree with Professor O'Connell completely. It is difficult to know what is admissible in those circumstances and in asking whether the offence has really interfered with a person's privacy. It will take a number of cases to decide on that. It is a very well-made point.
