    According to the Irish Times, Data Protection Commissioner Joe Meade has twice threatened to take High Court proceedings against the Government for its use of an "invalid" Ministerial Direction to store citizens' phone, fax and mobile call data. The Direction, issued secretly under Cabinet instruction in April 2002, requires the major telecoms operators to retain data on all calls for three years. According to correspondence obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, Meade obtained legal advice that said the Direction was "in breach of Article 15.2.1 of the Constitution," lacked "the character of law," and was "in breach of the principles of Community law."
