Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2017)

Jim O'Callaghan: The matters that will concern the Minister are in Part 4 but the matters related to periodic payments are contained in Parts 2 and 3. If it is the case that there will be reconsideration or further deliberation by the Department in respect of the open disclosure issue, it should not delay the other parts of the Bill going through. The periodic payments elements are crucial. I would like to...

Questions on Promised Legislation (5 Jul 2017)

Jim O'Callaghan: Last October, the Government promised to introduce legislation to permit the representative associations of An Garda Síochána to have access to the industrial relations mechanism of the State.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2017)

Jim O'Callaghan: I thank Mr. McGarr and Mr. McIntyre for attending the committee meeting. Listening to both of them and their views as to what areas in the legislation could be improved has been informative. I will make a few comments about the structure of the Bill because both Mr. McGarr and Mr. McIntyre raised it. They are correct in stating that it would be preferable if the 1988 and 2003 Acts were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2017)

Jim O'Callaghan: Does that mean Mr. McIntyre probably thinks it would be broader than the way I described it? It would not be groups set up purely for data protection purposes. It could be representative organisations, trade unions and other bodies that are interested in protecting their members and that are not in the business of making profit.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2017)

Jim O'Callaghan: Both Mr. McIntyre and Mr. McGarr made a point about head 20 and the general public interest. I agree that it is not particularly well drafted, although it is drafted extremely broadly. There is a standard legislative mechanism that can be included whereby it says that any order under this provision must be placed before the Houses of the Oireachtas and can be voted down within a period of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2017)

Jim O'Callaghan: Mr. McIntyre is saying it is far too broad and provides too many parameters to the definition of general public interest?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2017)

Jim O'Callaghan: Mr. McIntyre's fourth point concerned a data protection officer who may be victimised. I think the witnesses want a specific statutory protection for that officer in the legislation. Will Mr. McIntyre give me an example of the type of victimisation he is talking about? When I first heard him say it, I thought that surely there would be a standard remedy in terms of going to court, be it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2017)

Jim O'Callaghan: Under the protected disclosure legislation, is it the case that if someone goes down the unfair dismissal route, his or her remedies are greater than they are under the standard unfair dismissal route? Is is true that the person can claim up to five years' wages as opposed to two years' wages?
