I do not propose to rehash all the arguments, other than to say that this is about more than a matter of delegating responsibility for data protection from the Data Protection Commissioner, a trusted office and a trusted brand, to a postcode contractor, a private entity. That is not delegation but abdication of responsibility for a solemn State duty. It is setting a very dangerous precedent and it should not be included in this legislation.
