Data Protection (Amendment) Bill 2002 [ Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil ] : Report and Final Stages.
Amendment No. 5 deletes a subsection in the 1988 Act that was originally included to provide a possibility for additional safeguards in relation to the handling of sensitive personal data. However, the provision was never used and no regulations were ever made. The provision is now superfluous because the safeguards are set out in the Bill.
