A number of concerns were raised during the pre-legislative scrutiny stage. In particular, some concerns were raised by Digital Rights Ireland, which is expert in the area. One of the concerns was related to how the public service shared e-infrastructure should operate and whether it would be incorporated into the Bill. Another concern was related to how the issue of access to underlying data would be addressed and that access should only be supplied to respond with answers to a predefined and pre-approved set of queries. These were just a few of the concerns raised. Are they being taken on board? Will the Minister of State give us an indication of the exact changes or the scope of the changes that will be made in the final Bill as opposed to the heads of the Bill?
