From 25 May 2018, this Act ceased to apply to the processing of personal data (within the meaning of this Act) other than the processing of such data for the purposes of safeguarding the security of the State, the defence of the State or the international relations of the State, or the processing of such data under the Criminal Justice (Forensic Evidence and DNA Database System) Act 2014 or the Vehicle Registration Data (Automated Searching and Exchange) Act 2018 to the extent that this Act is applied in those Acts but is still applicable to complaints made under s. 10 and contraventions of this Act that occurred before 25 May 2018, see s. 8 of the Data Protection Act 2018 (No. 7).
Every regulation made under this Act (other than section 2) shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas as soon as may be after it is made and, if a resolution annulling the regulation is passed by either such House within the next 21 days on which that House has sat after the regulation is laid before it, the regulation shall be annulled accordingly, but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done thereunder.
