While I do not have any connections with Mayo, its county footballers have my full solidarity when they play against Dublin.

I will not repeat ad nauseamwhat has been said. I am heartened the Bill has been passed. As previous speakers acknowledged, we will need to amend it as the world changes. The Minister of State spoke extensively on this issue today and on Second Stage. Senator Higgins is correct to flag these issues, particularly in the current climate. We are benefitting from having an open ear in the Minister of State in this regard. Today, the House has concluded its consideration of important legislation. There is a willingness and eagerness among Senators to keep it under constant review and to respond to events. We should not be afraid to state that Ireland must play a lead role in ensuring more of this kind of responsible, reactive and innovative legislation is implemented to protect information and data related to citizens' personal and private lives from criminals who, as we saw recently, seek to exploit them for negative purposes.
