Interestingly, the Irish Times coverage of this change in Irish law¹ has: > Security sources said the person refusing to surrender their password would have to be a suspect in a crime and trying to obstruct the investigation of that core offence before they would be convicted over the password refusal. It’s annoying that media coverage (by the “newspaper of record”) would rather cite speculation by anonymous sources rather than link directly to the text of the actual Bill. It’s only when I check the discussion on Hacker News that the source is directly referenced. On the other hand, the state broadcaster does not even deem this proposed change to Irish law to be newsworthy enough to warrant coverage on its news website². Somewhat Off Topic: The typesetting of the Bill itself is woeful and really impacts on readability of the text.
