- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: I thank Mr. Schrems. I move on to our next questioner. Deputy Costello got first mover advantage in terms of a little bit of latitude on time, but I will have to move quickly through the questions and questioners and I ask everybody to keep it snappy because we are, unfortunately, under pressure for time, although we have had a very valuable contribution and engagement so far. Senator...

James Lawless: I thank the Senator and I appreciate the conciseness because we are under a little time pressure. I will return to the witnesses to answer those points.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: Thank you, Dr. Logue. Mr. Schrems, do you want to give a brief reply to that also?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: I apologise to Mr. Schrems for cutting across him but I am conscious that four more speakers wish to contribute and there are only 20 minutes left in the first round. I am sure that there will be common ground in the replies. The four remaining questioners have five minutes each for questions and answers and I call Senator Ruane.

James Lawless: I appreciate the Senator's conciseness.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: The last point that the Deputy made is interesting. A number of local authorities use GDPR in a sense that, maybe, was not envisaged. I would say that section 40 of the Data Protection Act 2018 enables public representatives to engage in certain ways with local authorities but local authorities have not interpreted the legislation in that way. I am interested in hearing the opinion of Dr....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: Like the Deputy, I seek Dr. Logue's opinion on section 40 of the Data Protection Act 2018.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: It is a bit of an omnibus question but will Dr. Logue do his best to give a flavour of his view on each part?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: I thank Dr. Logue. Before I bring in the next speaker, for the information of members I will mention that Deputy Pringle and Deputy Creed are the final two speakers I have noted for this first round. May I ask Dr. Logue a supplementary follow-up question? He mentioned the need for better legislation. Is he suggesting that the Data Protection Act 2018 should be extended or amended or is he...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: That is interesting. I believe, in some cases, there is conflict between laws, including some of the legislation to which Dr. Logue alluded. I suppose that is part of the tapestry.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: We are under a bit of pressure with time so I might move on. We will take the question at the end of the session if there is time, unless Dr. Logue could give a ten-second answer. I am sorry to put him under pressure but we have other speakers.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: We will go to our final questioner for this round. I will invite Deputy Creed to wrap up the session. Deputy Creed, do you wish to put your points to the room?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: I thank Deputy Creed for his question. It was a really interesting question and somewhat different to the flavour so far. That is an interesting angle and a good contribution. I will call on Mr. Schrems and then Mr. Logue to wrap up this session. What do you say to that, Mr. Schrems?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: The final comment of this session will be from Dr. Logue. Dr. Logue, do you want to speak to the question of red tape for small businesses?
