The Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources has expressed serious reservations about the negative impact and high cost to businesses of the Justice Department's proposed data retention bill, according to documents seen by the Irish Times. In comments made in September 2002 on a confidential preliminary draft of the bill, the Department of Communications also said it believed that "the proposed retention period of three years might be considered excessive from the point of view of civil liberties and an individual's right to privacy."
