Alan Farrell: I wish our witnesses a good evening and thank them for their opening statements and for answering questions. I will be running into the Dáil shortly to make a contribution on another matter but I will return. I have a couple of questions that arise from questions that have been asked. I will start with the representatives of the Data Protection Commission, DPC. Do they have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (13 Feb 2024)

Alan Farrell: There is no doubt that the code of practice will be key. Without a completed Bill or Act before us, it is fairly easy to see which is the more important of the documents. I will turn to Commissioner Harris.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (13 Feb 2024)

Alan Farrell: I have a final question on racial profiling or general profiling. This is for the Data Protection Commission representatives or anybody else who has a view on it. The heads of Bill do not go into it specifically, but there is already an effective ban on such profiling in the Data Protection Act. As members of an authority on such matters, do they believe that is sufficiently strong...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (13 Feb 2024)

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (20 Feb 2024)
