The issues that are not, perhaps, as comprehensively addressed in the Bill are those relating to the content of data-sharing agreements where data is shared with public bodies. In that context, I have tabled amendment No. 50. While data-sharing agreements can be accessed, it is sometimes difficult for people to know where to look or which agreement is relevant. There is transparency in the context of data-sharing agreements as such, but the provision could still be strengthened for the individual seeking to access information about the agreements which impact upon him or her. Given the very good spirit with which the Minister of State has addressed the majority of concerns in this area, I am not going to press my amendments.
