Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Dec 2018)

Mick Wallace: I do not believe the scenario outlined would happen but I find it interesting that the Minister of State mentioned penalty points because that reminds me of the PULSE system, about which I have serious reservations. I met a man last Sunday who was stopped at a checkpoint about six years ago. An individual who was in the car with him happened to be a suspected dissident IRA member. The...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Dec 2018)

Mick Wallace: I am okay for the moment. We will address the points the Minister of State is making and take them on board. Perhaps it might need to be a little tighter. Some of the things the Minister of State says I am saying are things I do not want to say. Consent to data sharing must be freely given according to the GDPR. That is at the core of much of what we are trying to get around. We will...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Dec 2018)

Mick Wallace: The Minister of State is talking about compliance with the law. He is asking what would happen to people who are already using the card for various purposes. We are not convinced that the card is legal. Saying it would cause problems if people who already use the card for various purposes could no longer use it does not stack up, if it is illegal.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Dec 2018)

Mick Wallace: With regard to amendment No. 6, while data sharing is defined in the Bill, there is no definition of data governance, which is odd. In their submission on the proposals for the Bill, Digital Rights Ireland and Castlebridge Associates, based in Wexford, highlighted this problem, particularly the fact that without such a definition there may be variances or discrepancies between Departments...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Suicide Prevention (11 Dec 2018)

Mick Wallace: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for choosing this very serious issue. I want to read a statement from Olwen Rowe from Wexford, the sister of Kenneth Rowe, who took his own life. Kenneth was a good friend to two of my sons. The statement reads:Families and friends live many nightmares when a loved one dies by suicide. When there is no warning, the shock and the pain are immense, beyond words....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Suicide Prevention (11 Dec 2018)

Mick Wallace: I will just finish. It continues:In the middle of our grieving and the unspeakable pain, it is hard not to feel anger and rage about a health system that is inadequate, underfunded and criminally absent in some parts of this country. It feels like no one, who can actually make a difference, cares.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Suicide Prevention (11 Dec 2018)

Mick Wallace: It continues:Kenneth gave so generously of his time and resources that he always gave the impression of having plenty, even when he was struggling to make ends meet. He has left little by way of material goods, but his legacy is immense - the many acts of kindness he wove into the fabric of his life, his unremitting intolerance for bullshit-----
