Bernard Allen (Cork North Central, Fine Gael)

In view of the European Court of Justice ruling on 30 May that deemed invalid the agreement between the European Union and the United States in regard to passenger name records, and given that negotiations will have to commence between the Council of Ministers and the US authorities in regard to this matter, will the Government demand a bilateral agreement on passenger name records? If the United States is demanding passenger name records from our Administration, will we do likewise under any new agreement reached as a result of the failure of the prior agreement?
