Congrats on the IIEA for putting together a good, concise event. My notes (if you prefer text to video) will be online soon on Enterprise Ireland's software blog at http://bestconnected.enterprise-ireland.com/peter-fleischer-google-at-the-iiea-cloud-can-be-good-for-privacy
I also thought that Billy Hawkes was focused more on the question of whether or not data protection as a right was protected. What I would like the government to focus on, outside of the rights issue, is competitiveness and how best we can work together with companies like google to maximise impact.
I thought that contrast between a private company and a regulatory made this a great event.
Just tweeted this - it's a killer to miss this event.
