I was going to ask a question about the right to be forgotten legislation. Much has been said about it. Certain individuals and certain organisations want articles and pieces about them to be forgotten. It surprises me Mr. Feeney is giving out the information if the complaint is about something that was written more than three months previously. Does Mr. Feeney think the right to be forgotten legislation needs to be tailored to certain types of articles rather than the way it appears to cover everything?
