I move amendment No. 1:

In page 16, line 17, before “the” where it firstly occurs to insert "subject to suitable and specific measures to protect the data,".

The amendments relate to sections 18 and 26. Their purpose is to safeguard the protection of data in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, with which we are all familiar at this stage, and the Data Protection Act 2018, which put the regulation into Irish law. The amendments would ensure that, during the course of a marine safety investigation where a person is required to preserve evidence and requested to provide records or other information to an investigator, they would do so in a way compatible with and in compliance with the necessary data protection legislation. The amendments are technical but important.
