- Transfer and Processing of Passenger Name Record Data: Motions (17 Apr 2024)
Pa Daly: Before I address the issue at hand, if the Minister of State does not mind, I wish to raise an issue. While it is covered by a couple of other Departments, it may also be of concern to the Department of Justice.
