John Brady (Wicklow, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We will have a broader discussion later this evening on the public services card but my question is about the Department's insistence on retaining indefinitely personal data collected through the SAFE 2 registration process, how the data are stored, who has access to them and if the data are shared across Departments of other State bodies. With due respect, I do not want a response that refers to the Department surveying 1,000 customers who say they are happy with the process. I want facts and direct answers to the questions I have posed.
