Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2018)

Clare Daly: Amendments Nos. 13 and 14 aim to protect children older than the digital age of consent of 13 years but younger than 16 years of age from being targeted, including through the use of sophisticated means, by companies online in a marketing context. The right decision is to have a digital age of consent of 13. All of the child protection experts tell us that this is so if we are to vindicate...

Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2018)

Clare Daly: The horse has bolted when it comes to the Internet. All kids, 13 years and under, use it. Those who are in denial should cop themselves on. The reason most countries have moved to an age lower than 16 years is they are concerned that valuable websites will be denied to young people as it is unclear what services would fall under the term "information society services". It is absolute...

Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2018)

Clare Daly: Absolutely not, a Cheann Comhairle. I was reiterating the biography of someone who has made vocal representations. It is not in any way derogatory to quote a person's biography. It is simply testament to the credentials or expertise in this field of the person.

Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2018)

Clare Daly: It is very confusing, a Cheann Comhairle. I have no wish to be difficult but part of the problem is what the Select Committee on Justice and Equality has started. Deputies Shortall and Ó Laoghaire have gone to debate the Parental Leave (Amendment) Bill. All of us should probably be there as well.

Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2018)

Clare Daly: That means we cannot speak.

Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2018)

Clare Daly: I really do not know what to do now. I know Deputy Shortall wanted to push this, and we do as well. However, the Minister seems to be saying that if we push it then we are exposing the State to a breach and potential liabilities and so on. We have to take that into consideration as well. Now, we are paralysed and we do not know what to do because those Deputies are not here.

Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2018)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 16:In page 31, line 38, to delete “may” and substitute “shall”. Section 35 deals with suitable and specific measures for processing data. In general, throughout the Bill these measures are used as a substitute for gaining somebody's consent to process the most sensitive data. It is obviously significant because the idea of these suitable and...

Clare Daly: In respect of amendment No. 18, on Committee Stage when the Minister listed the free fuel and travel schemes and the school meals programmes, operated by the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection on a non-statutory basis, he said that this processing complies with the GDPR because Recital 41 states: "Where this Regulation refers to a legal basis or a legislative measure, this...

Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2018)

Clare Daly: Unfortunately, this is a monster group of amendments that covers a lot of different aspects of GDPR rights and sections that could open us up to fines and legal proceedings, so I must take some time on this. The potential of exposing Members to that was the reason for siding with the Minister with regard to our previous amendment to an earlier section. They are very important aspects. I...

Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2018)

Clare Daly: Worse, the Deputy's amendment seeks to extend the permission to cover party members. I could join Fianna Fáil tomorrow and use my membership as a cover to access other people's personal data and send them unsolicited emails, text messages, surveys and questionnaires every day. If someone felt his or her privacy had been violated, he or she could do nothing about it.
