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?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: I noted that in the opening statement.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: I wish to thank our two witnesses, Mr. Schrems and Dr. Logue, for their participation. It was a valuable engagement. That concludes our first session. I remind the two witnesses they are welcome to watch the rest of the meeting on the Oireachtas web channel if they wish, but this concludes their participation. They are welcome to continue to watch the second round.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: We will now commence the second part of the meeting. I welcome the witnesses to our meeting. I will give them a moment to take up their positions. I see Dr. Ryan and Ms Dixon. They are both very welcome to the session. I believe Ms Morgan is also joining us from the Data Protection Commission, DPC. I see her smiling in the corner. I thank all three witnesses for their attendance and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: I thank Dr. Ryan. Ms Dixon is next to give evidence. I am aware that the spotlight has been on her office for most of this session and, indeed, the last. We want to work with her and hear what she has to say. She will have the opportunity to respond. She should set out her own stall. This is a solution-based exercise. Ms Dixon has the floor and is welcome to tell us what the solution...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: I thank Ms Dixon for her opening remarks. I will lead with two questions and then go around the room to facilitate the members. We will try to be short and sweet in our questions in this round. The witnesses will have the same time as the previous witnesses but the members may have to be speedier. I have a big-picture question and a practical question for Ms Dixon. The first deals...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: I have a second practical question. I have heard of methods, resources and technologies that could be used. In her presentation, the commissioner spoke about a principle-based approach and said that every case is unique. Might there be an opportunity to fast-track some of the more minor cases or more repetitive type of requests? Must there be human input in all cases? Could we have a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: We will return to this topic because it is a core part of the committee's work programme and agenda.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
James Lawless: I think that question is directed to Ms Dixon. I ask questioners that if they are directing their questions to identify to whom they are directed. Ms Dixon might reply to that question.
