Mr OâGorman said the legislation had to balance the right to a personâs identity with the right to privacy in a fair and compassionate way, and that he had worked with Attorney General Paul Gallagher SC to find a solution grounded on GDPR, the EU data protection law.

Taoiseach open to adding more EU countries to mandatory quarantine regime Martin insists Attorney General does not have ‘legal issues’ with the measure

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said that he’s open to adding more European Union countries to the mandatory hotel quarantine system.
Mr Martin said progress has been made in talks on expanding the regime as he insisted that the Attorney General Paul Gallagher does not have “legal issues” with the measure aimed at reducing the spread of Covid-19 and variants of concern through foreign travel.
However, Mr Martin also said the public health advice to expand the list of countries “has to be grounded within the legislative parameters” and added: “that’s the only issue.”
A number of Government departments have raised new concerns about plans to extend the mandatory hotel quarantine regime to a range of European countries, it has emerged.
A fresh dispute emerged following a meeting on Tuesday of seven Government departments which was designed to find agreement on how to handle passengers travelling from countries such as France, Germany and Italy.
It is understood at least four departments expressed concerns about what has been described by sources as a lack of a clear plan around how to increase the capacity within the system.
The meeting of senior officials included the Department of the Taoiseach as well as the departments of health, transport, foreign affairs, defence, justice and enterprise.
