The Prüm decisions require use of full registration or VIM, so the partial number plate would not be compliant.

Senator Ó Donnghaile spoke about data protection and the need to protect people as the scale of the issue worries him. I will certainly look at that and I will examine the amendments that are tabled, but we would have to accommodate them within the confines of the Prüm decisions as we are bound by them. This Bill has taken long enough to prepare so I suspect that it is pretty watertight. Amendments may be difficult to accept but if the Senators can devise amendments that come within the confines of the Prüm decisionswe will look at them seriously.
