These amendments, some of which are technical in nature, provide for an extension of the scope of the personal data portal so that it can be used as one means by which public bodies may communicate data breaches to data subjects in accordance with what is provided for under Article 34 of the GDPR.

I note that Senator Higgins has proposed similar amendments and I ask that she might consider withdrawing her amendments and accept those I am proposing.
