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?

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.

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...

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...
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: No. I think the points have been well made. I just want to call a vote on it.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: Our amendments are similar to Deputy O'Callaghan's except that we add two further criteria to the process of appointing a data protection commissioner. Deputy O'Callaghan's wording in amendment No. 11 is better than ours in amendment No. 12. As such, we will not press our amendment No. 12 but will rather support his amendment No. 11. They are trying to achieve the same end. The...

Clare Daly: In support of amendment No. 11.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: Yes.

Clare Daly: I will not repeat points.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: I will withdraw that. It may be a little unnecessary. I know expertise and public advertisement are implied. The wording is a bit cumbersome. We will withdraw amendment No. 15 for now.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 13:In page 16, between lines 16 and 17, to insert the following:“(6) The Service shall, subject to subsection (7), appoint a selection panel. (7) Of the members of the selection panel, one of them shall be nominated by the European Data Protection Supervisor.”.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: This is a group of amendments that has attracted a lot of interest. In some ways, that is disappointing. Issues are being conflated. To me, the concentration on the digital age of consent is a little like focusing on a fly on the wall when there is a giant elephant in the room about which no one is even talking. All of the other provisions in the Bill are of far greater consequence....
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: On amendment No. 28, I know that the issue of the maintenance of a register was discussed in the Seanad. The Minister made some good points about the limitations of our proposal. We thought it was an alternative in dealing with the limitations mentioned in the Seanad about the Data Protection Commissioner being the person to maintain a register. That proposal was shot down on the grounds...

Clare Daly: I was referring to amendment No. 28.
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)
Clare Daly: We are not convinced. We are withdrawing amendment No. 28 in the hope that the Minister will come up with a better proposal than our proposal with regard to counselling services. We are withdrawing amendment No. 29 because it is going to fail, but we will come back to it. We will get our own advice on it.
