Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Fiona Hurley:
We are concerned it will create massive databases that contain a huge amount of information about individuals. The Senator mentioned children. Children over the age of six can have their data held and we understand that data will be held for over ten years. That means the data will follow children potentially up until the age of 16 if the data is collected at age six. It is massively concerning that this level of data can be shared among police forces in member states in the EU.
