Dail Éireann — 2026-07-15
============================================================

Jim O'Callaghan (FF), Dublin Bay South

Before we start, a number of typographical errors that have been identified in the Bill, as amended by the Seanad. Pursuant to Standing Order 203, I request the Ceann Comhairle to direct the Clerk to make the following corrections of a typographical nature to the Bill.
In Seanad amendments Nos. 46, 57, 68, 84 and 85, in respect of the inserted subsection (6)(b) of section 68, subsection (1) of section 79, subsection (2) of section 90, item 19 of Schedule 2 and item 1 of Schedule 3, respectively, I ask that the Clerk be directed to change the word "listed" to "specified" wherever it occurs.
In Seanad amendment No. 46, in respect of the inserted subsection (6) of section 68, I ask that the Clerk be directed to insert a closing bracket after the term "arrival time".
In Seanad amendment No. 52, in respect of the inserted subsection (5) of section 74, I ask that the Clerk be directed to insert the word "shall" in between the word "staff" and the term "be accountable". It will now read "the member of staff shall be accountable".
In Seanad amendment No. 57, in respect of the inserted subsection (1) of section 79, I ask that the Clerk be directed to remove the comma after the term "Schedule 4".
In Seanad amendment No. 68, in respect of the inserted subsection (3)(a)(1) of section 90, I ask that the Clerk be directed to insert the term "purpose of" after the term "necessary for the". It will now read, "the transfer of the data to the competent authority is necessary for the purpose of preventing, detecting, investigating".
In Seanad amendment No. 71, in respect of the inserted subsection (8) of section 93, I ask that the Clerk be directed to change the cross-referenced subsection from "subsection (4)" to "subsection (5)". It will now read "where the Independent Authority revokes an authorisation under subsection (5)".
