Seanad: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages (6 Feb 2019)

Patrick O'Donovan: Group 6 relates to amendments Nos. 12, 19 and 20. Amendment No. 12 deletes section 21(6) which provides that this section is without prejudice to the rights of the data subject in respect of any or all data controllers.

Patrick O'Donovan: To go back to what individuals will know and when they will know it, one of the provisions we included in the Bill, and one I was very keen on at the outset, is the personal access portal. This will give a person real-time information in terms of what information, if any, a body has accessed about him or her. I also said that when the Bill becomes law, as I hope it will, it is my intention...

Patrick O'Donovan: I took the opportunity earlier to refer to procurement contracts. I will not repeat what I said but it is the advice of the Attorney General that procurement law applies to all bodies and that rather than specifying that in Bill that we would delete it because it would cause confusion for everybody else. Regarding amendment No. 20, the governance board is technical in nature and that was a...

Patrick O'Donovan: This is a technical amendment to delete the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company from the Schedule to the Bill. As Senators are no doubt aware, the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company was dissolved on 3 October 2018 and its assets and liabilities transferred to Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. Since the company is no longer in existence, we have removed it from the Schedule.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Sector Staff Retirements (7 Feb 2019)

Patrick O'Donovan: As the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, said, work has started. We gave a commitment in the legislation to work within the timeframe of the Bill.

If there is a remedy, it may require legislation to give effect...
