Regina Doherty: With respect, the High Court case is ongoing. The witness in question is no longer a member of staff, arising from actions that were taken by said employee. For the record, in practically every county we have seconded members of An Garda Síochána as part of our fraud division. We share data with the Garda when criminal investigations are being carried out. We spoke a number of...

Regina Doherty: It is necessary to determine how we pay our providers. If I do not know how many times people are using their travel passes, how can the Department or the State pay CIÉ, Bus Éireann, GoBus or Wexford Bus? The Senator is inaccurate when she says we know the data of people's travel journeys. If somebody gets on a train in Wexford, we know they have got on a train in Wexford and...

Regina Doherty: -----that data is to enable us to determine how we pay Bus Éireann, CIÉ, etc. Otherwise, I am not sure how we would pay them, other than having a blanket charge.

Regina Doherty: The transport operator would know that a journey has been logged, for want of a better word.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Public Services Card: Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection (21 Nov 2019)
Regina Doherty: The operator would certainly not know it was a Mr. John Curran.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Public Services Card: Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection (21 Nov 2019)

Regina Doherty: I will be brief. The only way we have of knowing whether people have confidence in our use of their data is the results of the survey we conducted a number of years ago. The Senator may laugh and smirk-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Public Services Card: Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection (21 Nov 2019)
Regina Doherty: I am sorry, but the problem with the commentary here is that when we sit around in mediums like this, we refer to a very small number of organisations or individuals who have concerns. They are right to raise those concerns, as is the Senator. We never talk about the 3.2 million satisfied customers, or the 600,000 people who have absolutely no problem as they use their travel passes on a...

Regina Doherty: If we agreed with the fifth finding, we would have done something about it. We do not agree with it. We believe there is enormous transparency in what we do, how we do it, when we do it and - most importantly - why we do it. That is borne out by the response to the data survey we conducted in 2017. There was 85% customer satisfaction across all of the questions that were asked. One of...

Regina Doherty: That is not true.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Public Services Card: Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection (21 Nov 2019)
Regina Doherty: It is not true. The Deputy should go back and request a proper briefing from whomever gave him that information. We have never insisted that school transport appeals would require a PSC.

Regina Doherty: With respect, anecdotal evidence is no basis on which to say that things were definitively going in a certain direction. It does more disservice to the Deputy to make such a disingenuous statement with no factual basis than it did to challenge me on the basis of supposedly being disingenuous.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Public Services Card: Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection (21 Nov 2019)
Regina Doherty: The Deputy would have to ask the Data Protection Commissioner.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Public Services Card: Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection (21 Nov 2019)
