I do not know whether that captures the concerns of the Data Protection Commissioner's office which were outlined on 18 June.

Having investigated the primary online database, POD, the Data Protection Commissioner's office still had concerns, as did parents who had objected to the storage of sensitive data, that were valid even following the changes made in April. That is the key point. While they acknowledge that the Minister made changes in April, major changes are still required. I do not know whether the changes will be fully captured in the legislation to which the Minister referred which will not be brought before the House before the schools return after the summer break, which means that some of the data will still be online. Some parents who have asked what data are being retained have been very surprised and concerned at what has been and is being retained about their schoolgoing children.
