There are already explicit references to processing in Parts 3, 4 and 6 of the Bill, relating to ANPR. recording of telephone calls and the processing of third-party CCTV. Amendment No. 6 inserts a new section into Part 2 of the Bill.

Amendment No. 57 inserts a new section into Part 5.

Amendment No. 74 inserts a new section into Part 7 relating to processing. This is to ensure that where there is a power for the Garda to use a recording device, there is equally a power to process the data gathered from those devices. Legal advice indicated it would be better to include specific reference to processing in Parts 2, 5 and 7 to ensure no uncertainty in relation to the Garda's power to process all data gathered under the Bill. This is especially important in the light of the events of last week.
