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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I move amendment No. 101:In page 96, to delete lines 24 to 27 and substitute the following:“108.(1) For the purposes of section 107(2)(a), on receipt of a complaint the Commission shall investigate the complaint, and issue a formal decision on the conclusion of the investigation, save where subsections (2) to (4) apply, unless the Commission considers the complaint to be frivolous or...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: There is no need to apologise, as I only indicated once. I will speak in support of the amendments which constitute a significant proposal. As mentioned in the context of other legislation, there is an inequality of arms in the legal system. I am not just referring to the making of complaints to the Data Protection Commissioner but also to taking cases to court which can be difficult. If...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I move amendment No. 92:In page 77, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following:"Protection of Data Protection Officers 88. (1) The Data Protection Commission shall provide a protection, whereby Data Protection Officers may seek the assistance of the Data Protection Commissioner, due to the fact that the Data Protection Office is not in a position to carry out their role fully, due to...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I support Deputy Wallace's and Deputy Clare Daly's amendments because while they deal with different aspects of the Bill, their intention is the same. It is not difficult to anticipate the circumstances in which it would be in the interests of a data controller to hinder, harass or in any way infringe the work of a DPO. That might be in the interests of individuals or senior management...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I move amendment No. 82:In page 48, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following:“(11) (a) Such regulations shall be referred before their enactment to the Data Protection Commissioner for their opinion under the terms of section 100.(b) The impact assessment shall have the purpose of ascertaining whether the proposed processing of special categories is—(i) necessary, (ii)...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I move amendment No. 65:In page 43, between lines 17 and 18, to insert the following:“Processing of special categories of personal data for identity verification purposes 55. Processing of special categories of personal data for identity verification purposes will be lawful provided no copy of identification or information contained within is stored or retained for any...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I had failed to notice that amendment No. 141 was grouped with amendment No. 65. The Minister referred to the requirements and the exceptions in that they are not contained in the Bill. The GDPR as European law will be Irish law. They are well enumerated in the GDPR. It outlines biometric data as personal data resulting from specific technical processes relating to the physical,...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I move amendment No. 57:In page 38, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following:"(2) This section does not permit the sharing or processing of personal data revealing political opinion with or by any private company, as defined under section 2(1) of the Companies Act 2014 without the consent of the data subject even when that private company has been contracted by the actors or entities...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I move amendment No. 58:In page 38, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following:"(2) This section does not permit the sharing or processing of personal data revealing political opinion with or by any private company, as defined under section 2(1) of the Companies Act 2014 without the consent of the data subject even when that private company has been contracted by—(i) a political...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I move amendment No. 46:In page 37, to delete lines 22 to 24 and substitute the following: “43.(1) For the purposes of Article 86, personal data may be disclosed where a request for access to a record is granted under and in accordance with the Act of 2014 pursuant to an FOI request, a request for access to environmental information is granted under and in accordance with the...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Did Deputy O'Callaghan just read that into the record?

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: There were two versions of the amendment - amendments Nos. 57 and 58. I made this point on Committee Stage so I will not over-labour it but I believe the whole section is far too broad. Arguments have been made, in respect of numerous parts of the Bill, that the effort to provide excessive detail means that the Bill as drafted is unnecessary because the relevant sections of the GDPR have a...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I move amendment No. 14:In page 28, after line 34, to insert the following: "Micro-targeting and profiling of children30. It shall be an offence under this Act for any company or corporate body to process the personal data of a child as defined by section 29 for the purposes of direct marketing, profiling or micro-targeting. Such an offence shall be punishable by an administrative fine under...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: In terms of having a false sense of security, it is not just because of what is in the provision but to an extent what we say and is said in the media that we need to be clear that more needs to be done to ensure the safety of children online. The Minister's opposition to the amendments on micro-targeting and the profiling of under-18s is based primarily on an argument made that there can be...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: This group of amendments, Nos. 13 to 15, inclusive, deals with similar matters. My amendment No. 14 and amendment No. 13 both deal with the issue of micro-targeting of children under 18 years of age. The difference between my amendment and that proposed by Deputies Daly, Wallace and Shortall is a few words; the presence or absence of "for financial gain". I am not particularly precious...

Mandatory Open Disclosure: Motion (15 May 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Thar ceann Shinn Féin, ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil le gach Teachta a ghlac páirt sa díospóireacht seo, ina measc iad siúd a léirigh a gcuid tacaíochta don rún. Ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a ghabháil leis an Teachta O'Reilly, a chum an rún. The cases of Vicky Phelan, Emma Mhic Mhathúna, Irene Teap and others have...

Data Protection Bill 2018: Report Stage (15 May 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: This was a variation on an amendment submitted on Committee Stage and intended to ensure that the data protection commission can continue with any investigations or actions currently being undertaken by the Data Protection Commissioner. I thought we had made a slightly better effort in drafting it on this occasion but, in any event, I am satisfied that the amendments the Government has...

Data Protection Bill 2018: Report Stage (15 May 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I refer to amendments Nos. 2 and 82, which is the only one of the amendments of mine in this grouping. On amendment No. 2, I welcome the fact that the Minister is recognising the view that existed in the committee. One of the most significant amendments that was made to the Bill was the requirement that there would be prospective approval of such regulations as pertain to that section....
