This group deals with amendments Nos. 112 to 121, inclusive, and Nos. 123 to 184, inclusive. They are consequential amendments to other Acts.

Discontinued application of the Data Protection Act 1988, following the entry into force of GDPR and the legislation, necessitates the amendment of a significant number of Acts of the Oireachtas especially those containing cross-references to the 1988 Act. These changes are set out in amendments Nos. 112 to 121, inclusive, and amendments Nos. 123 to 184, inclusive. Except for those that already fall within the responsibility of the Department of Justice and Equality, these have been notified to the Department by the Departments concerned and the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel has drafted them. In each case the amendments to the Acts concerned are intended to ensure compliance with the GDPR and legislation. It is not necessary to speak to each of these amendments individually. They speak for themselves.
