Sinn Féin’s Bairbre de Brún (who actually taught me French at school for a year) has sent me her speech on the telecomms package, translated from the original Irish. The money quote:

The European Parliament must act to delete the most regressive elements it has introduced into this directive. As it currently stands this directive opens the door for further involvement by businesses and state organs into the private use of communications networks by individuals. The protection of intellectual property rights must not be used as an excuse to allow personal and private data to be accessed by unaccountable bodies.
