It puts the onus on us to look at the bigger picture. The Communications (Data Retention) Bill 2017 only deals with communications data and personal data are outside its scope, but do witnesses have a view on the personal data in vast databases which are shared by public bodies without any oversight? I refer to the mandatory, but not compulsory, public services cards and health identifiers where data are retained without any legislative basis at all.
