I thank Deputies Carthy and Browne for raising this issue. I do not propose to accept the amendment on the basis that I have taken steps to ensure that the data collected under the Bill comply with all aspects of GDPR rules and requirements. It is anticipated that a number of Departments, agencies and other third parties may require access to data on fertiliser sales and stock levels. The robust data sharing provisions in the legislation will allow the specific sharing of data with other bodies to achieve environmental and sustainability targets and will be fully in line with GDPR and other data protection legislation.

I do not propose to accept amendment No. 32 either on the basis that I have taken steps to ensure the data collected comply with GDPR.
