An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2023-03-29
============================================================

Malcolm Byrne (FF), Cultural and Educational Panel

It was the previous answer. It was the Circular Economy and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2022 by name and by nature. I will give an example. The reply I received last October stated:
In order to address data protection concerns, the Act also sets out a number of conditions that must be complied with prior to the introduction and the use of CCTV and other mobile recording devices by local authorities. The Local Government Management Agency, LGMA, is required to prepare and submit draft codes of practice to the Minister for approval.
It goes on and the same answer was provided to me this morning. It is not good enough. The issue is not being taken seriously. I am convinced that ChatGPT is being used for some of these replies.
