I refer the Deputy to my response to Question No. 59 of 25 February, 2009, in which I indicated that the Privacy Bill 2006, which is before the Seanad, having been restored to the Seanad Order Paper in late 2007 by the Leader of the Seanad, represents Government policy in the area of privacy. My Department continues to review the provisions in the Bill taking into account developments in the interpretation of the law of privacy in our courts and elsewhere, with a view to possible amendments of the Bill.
