Data Retention About To Come To Ireland

category national | eu | other press author Tuesday January 22, 2008 14:40author by dom Report this post to the editors

EU data retention based regulations will probably be implemented in Ireland "within a month" without debate

According to her Saturday 28th. issue "the irish times" learned that irish government is about to implement a scheme for data retention within a month. (see: http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/frontpage/2008/0119/12....html )

Taking a short timescale for an argument the Department of Justice plans the use of a statutory instrument, thereby circumventing debate either in Dáil or public. More information is to be found with Digital Rights Ireland.

Data retention is one of the highly disputed topics throughout Europe today, taking i.e. thousands to the streets in Germany, and deserves attention in Ireland, too.
