Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Yes, No. 64, the data sharing and governance Bill, from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The Tánaiste has a particular interest in matters fiscal. We formerly served together on one of the Oireachtas committees in this regard. I am anxious to hear her view on this issue. Have these matters been brought to her attention? Can she give us some sense of the Government's awareness of the practice? I have gone through all of the promised legislation, and this Bill, which is due for publication next year, is the only one that appears to be a fit. I am not sure that it is a neat fit, but I am anxious to know whether it would address this matter. Does the Tánaiste agree that there should be a tightening of the situation, in that data held on citizens and their families by financial institutions should not be readily available for sale on the open market?
