- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Select Committee (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: Chairman, I am sorry but I do not understand the point.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Select Committee (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: Is the Chairman's suggestion a means of avoiding the votes?
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Select Committee (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: We should discuss a break. We are not going to sit from 2 p.m. until midnight. I have a public meeting on the referendum that I have to go to. I can go and come back but will have to be absent for at least part of the committee meeting tomorrow. It would be good to have a break coincide with that. Can we relax the rules? We are a small group. It is more difficult for us to get someone...
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Select Committee (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: Maybe we can consult afterwards about when we might take the break in tomorrow's session. We will probably know where we are more clearly after today's meeting.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 1:In page 11, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following:“ “scientific research purposes” means scientific research carried out by research staff who have full autonomy in determining both the object of study and the methods of inquiry;”. Section 39 provides general permission for the processing of personal data for a range of what might...
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: Yes.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: I do not think that it is a case of fake research, it is research dressed up as science but that actually has a commercial objective rather than one of public interest. We made our points earlier. We think that it is necessary to define it. I will leave it at that, I will not keep going on.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: I suppose we could look at that. Fianna Fáil's response is that defining one purpose was a problem. If that is the problem, it might support us in defining them all on Report Stage. We can do that.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: If that is the objection. I think that it is an important point, albeit a small one. We cannot be cavalier about data. Let us remember that what we are talking about here is the most private, red flag, data. We know there are huge amounts of money to be made here. These are very serious issues. These are big money interests and we need to be careful.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: I would like to have an indication of where things stand with this, so yes, I will press the amendment.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: It is lost, I am happy to acknowledge that.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: I assume that if we go to a vote, the missing Deputies will turn up and it will be lost.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: We have to be practical. Is Deputy Wallace happy with that?
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: We have to be practical.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: No, I know that.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: Exactly. If we rang the bell, and two members turned up, the vote would be lost.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: Absolutely. We have to be practical about this.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: Amendment No. 5, with consequential amendments Nos. 74 - which is not in this group for some reason - 96 and 111, to sections 48, 57 and 70 are absolutely crucial in our opinion. In discussing them, I will touch on some of the more controversial issues in this area. While my introductory remarks might be somewhat lengthy, that will not be repeated across the afternoon. I want to raise some...
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: The problem is that what the Minister refers to as sufficient safeguards come from the same Department. That is not personalising it. Anybody who believed that our other data protection legislation was also sufficient when we have been found to be hugely wanting and acting unlawfully for a number of years needs to see this discussion in that context. The Minister is basically saying this...
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: We think it is utterly necessary. There are ways of dealing with this very comprehensively. We have to see it in context. We are talking about the most sensitive data in most instances. These are the data covered under equality legislation and so on, all the categories on which a person could potentially be discriminated against. That is why it is particularly important that they are...
