I move amendment No. 11:

In page 6, after line 47, to insert the following:

"(vii) the constitutional rights of the company or the holder of the information,

and

(viii) the rights of any person, who is the subject of the information, under the Data Protection Acts 1988 to 2003.".

This amendment attempts to award some protection to company directors, to the entity that is the company itself and to any person whose personal information might be contained in company records. It seeks to protect the rights of a company or a holder of information so that these rights are not abused during the document seizure process. Subparagraph (viii) seeks to protect the rights of any person who is the subject of the information being seized.

Is there sufficient protection in the Bill for the company and for people whose data may be stored within company records?
