Patrick O'Donovan (Limerick County, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not aware of any such attack. In the context of the data sharing and governance Bill, about which we will consult the Opposition after Christmas when we have dealt with other legislation on which we are consulting it, we will be conscious of the need to take concerns into account. While the Data Protection Commissioner is not going to give a clean bill of health, the commissioner has been given sight of the revised heads of the Bill. We have taken into account what happened in the pre-legislative scrutiny process on governance and data-sharing, the establishment of a governance board and the need to ensure we will have all of the checks and balances required as enunciated both at the committee and directly to the Department. The will be fleshed out further with the Opposition after Christmas.
