Timmy Dooley (Fianna Fail)

I join the other Senators in welcoming the Minister to the House. I support the amendments. As Senator Brian Hayes has said, it is great to see concerns raised in the last Seanad, of which many of us were not Members, addressed by the Minister and the Department, and finding their way into this Bill through the other House. These amendments further strengthen the legislation underpinning the protection of individuals regarding the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data. It is particularly important now.
