Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I move amendment No. 145:

In page 139, line 35, after "the" to insert "Control of".

As I said when I was introducing this Bill on Second Stage, the discontinuation of the Data Protection Act 1988 following the entry into force of the GDPR and of this legislation will necessitate the amendment of a significant number of Acts of the Oireachtas. Many of these changes were made during the debate at the select committee. The Minister of State, Deputy Breen, indicated at the committee that further amendments would need to be made on Report Stage. These further changes are set out in amendments Nos. 145 to 147, inclusive, and amendments Nos. 149 to 166, inclusive. These changes have been notified to my Department by the Departments concerned and have been drafted by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. In each case, the amendments are intended to ensure compliance with the GDPR and with this legislation. I do not intend to speak on each of the amendments in this group individually because they are self-explanatory. I ask that they be accepted along the lines of the similar amendments we made on Committee Stage.
