Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Impact of Brexit on Data Protection and Data Flows between the UK and the EU: Discussion (1 Mar 2021)

Lisa Chambers: Turning to the assessment of the adequacy of protection offered by what is now a third country, Mr. O'Dwyer listed out the areas that are considered, such as laws, the protection of human rights and freedoms, national security, data protection rules and others. How in-depth is that assessment? He might excuse my lack of knowledge on this but is that assessment freely available for citizens...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Impact of Brexit on Data Protection and Data Flows between the UK and the EU: Discussion (1 Mar 2021)

Lisa Chambers: Ms Coogan stated that the judgment has gone to the European Data Protection Board. Do we have a date for when its opinion is due or an indication as to what it might say?

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Impact of Brexit on Data Protection and Data Flows between the UK and the EU: Discussion (1 Mar 2021)

Lisa Chambers: Fingers crossed. All Brexit processes have involved these tight timelines. I wish to touch upon the next process, that is, the comitology procedure and the process within the member states. Am I correct in stating that the decision will be assessed by a committee within the European Parliament, which will have representatives from each member state? Is that the process? How it is...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Impact of Brexit on Data Protection and Data Flows between the UK and the EU: Discussion (1 Mar 2021)

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Impact of Brexit on Data Protection and Data Flows between the UK and the EU: Discussion (1 Mar 2021)

Lisa Chambers: Senator Byrne has already touched on the potential fallout of not passing these adequacy decisions or it not working out the way in which we would like. He also probed the DPC's ability to deal with that because one would think it would increase its workload. What is Mr. O'Dwyer's assessment of the impact on Irish businesses and organisations should that happen? The DPC's opening statement...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Impact of Brexit on Data Protection and Data Flows between the UK and the EU: Discussion (1 Mar 2021)

Lisa Chambers: We took that seamless transfer of data and many other things for granted before Brexit. We are only starting to realise what we had now that we have lost it and are hoping we can mitigate some of that loss. I am coming to the end of my list of questions so I ask the witnesses to bear with me. The tone from both witnesses is fairly positive. They seem reasonably confident that this will...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Impact of Brexit on Data Protection and Data Flows between the UK and the EU: Discussion (1 Mar 2021)

Lisa Chambers: Is there a point at which we come back and carry out the assessment process again in terms of divergence? Will that happen in five or ten years and who monitors this? Is it the joint partnership council that implements the overall trade and co-operation agreement or will there be a separate monitoring body that will assess how this is working? How does it work with other third countries?...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Impact of Brexit on Data Protection and Data Flows between the UK and the EU: Discussion (1 Mar 2021)

Lisa Chambers: I thank Ms Coogan. It is interesting to note that it is slightly different from other agreements. I agree that it sounds quite persuasive to maintain a certain level of protection to ensure that we continue with that agreement in place. I thank Ms Coogan and Mr O'Dwyer for answering my questions. Senator Malcolm Byrne wishes to come back in.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Impact of Brexit on Data Protection and Data Flows between the UK and the EU: Discussion (1 Mar 2021)

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Impact of Brexit on Data Protection and Data Flows between the UK and the EU: Discussion (1 Mar 2021)

Lisa Chambers: I thank the Senator. That brings our meeting to an end. All members who were offering have come in and asked questions. On behalf of the committee, I sincerely thank Mr. O'Dwyer and Ms Cannon for attending today's meeting and engaging with our committee. There was a very wide range of questions put to their office and they have answered all of them with great knowledge and depth. We...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Disease Management (8 Mar 2021)

Lisa Chambers: I am sharing time with Senator McGreehan. I wish a happy International Women's Day to everyone, not least to all the women in Ireland who suffer with endometriosis, which is what this Commencement matter concerns. The Minister of State will be aware this chronic condition affects one in ten Irish women and girls. It is incurable. Some of the main symptoms include chronic pain and fatigue,...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Disease Management (8 Mar 2021)

Lisa Chambers: I know the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, is aware of this and I have spoken to him about it on a number of occasions. The female members of Fianna Fáil will be meeting the women's task force in the coming days to discuss this and other women's health issues. Can we imagine any other area of healthcare where one in ten men would be this impacted and where there would be no care...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Mar 2021)

Lisa Chambers: I join the Leader in congratulating the artist, Sinead Guckian, on the beautiful piece of art she has gifted to the Oireachtas. It is a proud day to be in the Chamber to see the unveiling of such a beautiful piece of art. It is incredible to think that someone like Nurse O'Farrell was effectively airbrushed out of our history. As stated by the Cathaoirleach, the painting goes a small way...

Seanad: International Women's Day: Statements (8 Mar 2021)

They are my inspiration for the work that I do, the people who surround me every day and drive me to...
