I move amendment No. 11:

In page 8, lines 27 to 32, to delete all words from and including “may” in line 27 down to and including line 32 and substitute the following:“may put in place a data sharing agreement with a Department of State, the Office of the Revenue Commissioners, An tUdarás um Ard- Oideachas, Solas and the Central Applications Office. The Minister shall, having consulted with the Minister for Justice and Equality and the Data Protection Commission set out suitable and specific measures in respect of any such data sharing agreement. These measures must include but not be limited to:

(a) publication of the data sharing agreement;

(b) consultation with any data subjects who may be affected;

(c) appropriate regulation in respect of the storage and processing of any data;

(d) measures to ensure that any sharing of data is necessary and proportionate; and

(e) other measures as required.”.

I will press this amendment because it is important to set out what a data-sharing amendment should look like.
