Derek McDowell (Labour)

The Information Commissioner, I assume, proposed this on the basis of some experience. I assume the experience is that copyright has been technically infringed by public bodies in circumstances where nobody objected. He is simply looking to provide cover to the public bodies in circumstances like that by requiring that copyright be infringed in such a way that causes loss. I would ask the Minister to look at this again on the other Stages in the Dáil.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Amendments Nos. 15 to 18, inclusive, not moved.
