Mr. John O'Driscoll:

With regard to that aspect I had the head of the EC3, Mr. Steven Wilson, in my office the day before yesterday. He spoke to every member of the cybercrime bureau who was available on that day. I asked Mr. Wilson how we are measuring up to other countries. The way the definitions in the legislation were framed is fairly robust. There are certain aspects of them - Mr. Daly will give one example - where we might need an adjustment due to certain developments in the type of criminality involved but the Acts, because of the way they were developed, have proved workable in many regards up to now. Clearly, there is the prospect that as matters develop we will need additional legislation, particularly in regard to our power to search where people perhaps have a device which we would look upon as a phone but which is now more or less a computer rather than merely a phone. Mr. Daly developed on that in a conversation we had recently about a possible improvements in legislation that we would seek in that regard.
