Communications (Retention of Data) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-06
============================================================

James Lawless (FF), Kildare North

Perhaps I will have that opportunity in time. It would provide some reassurance and comfort to all those involved in the scrutiny if this were to be re-examined. It could pass muster for now to get it over the line, as it were, given all the circumstances if we were given comfort was the legislation will be revisited. As we have been told, there will be a more comprehensive Bill, on which we will perform due scrutiny and engage with stakeholders engage. I am sure the others in this House and many outside it would be interested in that. That should happen. The sunset clause makes a lot of sense in all the circumstances. I ask the Minister to strongly consider it.
