Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
General Scheme of Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Denis Kelleher:
It is a question of where the State would go with this. There is an issue in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform as to how it can either provide identification or identify people. The reality is that the State is making a choice here. If the State does not provide identification services, the market will.
