Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Dec 2018)

Patrick O'Donovan: Amendment No. 5 seeks to change the definition of data sharing in section 9. The definition of data sharing was the subject of considerable debate in the Seanad, and the proposed definition here is ambiguous. A simple, unambiguous definition of data sharing is required, and that is what we have provided for in the text of the Bill in consultation with the Attorney General. Section 13 sets...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Dec 2018)

Patrick O'Donovan: No. We discussed this in the Seanad as well. Part of the reason for this section is that we do not know what other types of public bodies may be constructed in the future. Rather than having to come back and amend this legislation if a new public entity is established, we are allowing the situation to develop in the future. This is really a "just in case" provision. It is there just in...

Patrick O'Donovan: No. The Bill is explicit on this in the subsection to which the Deputy referred.

Such a body would have to have its functions...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Dec 2018)

Patrick O'Donovan: I presume that it is a ruling of the Houses of the Oireachtas, based on the advice from the Attorney General. I can clarify on Report Stage that that is the ruling of the Houses of the Oireachtas, that is, our own rulings.

Patrick O'Donovan: The procurement of any services by the Government and public bodies is not specified in any legislation. We do not do that as a norm. To underpin a specific element of public procurement in specific legislation could reflect on other public procurement and suggest that there is somehow an issue with the legality of it. Rather than do that, the established practice laid out under EU...
