I appreciate the Department of Justice and Equality has drafted new proposed legislation to address the damning indictment of the State's surveillance of its citizens in the report from Mr. Justice Murray. What other steps has the Minister taken or intends to take with regard to the findings of the review? Will the Minister consider directing State agencies to discontinue accessing the data of Irish's pending the final resolution of issues pertaining to the Communications (Retention of Data) Act 2011 or any similar legislation which fails to apply compliant with EU data protection law and obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights?
