Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation: Data Protection Commission (3 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: The witnesses might have answered this question during the one minute I was outside the room and, if they did, I apologise. Deputy Jack Chambers raised questions about the digital age of consent which was set at 16, despite our best wishes and those of every single child protection expert in this State. One of the main movers who advocated behind the scenes to raise the digital age of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation: Data Protection Commission (3 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: It is very challenging and raises major data concerns, such as over the possibility of hoovering up parents' data. One proposal was to scan children's retinas to verify their age, which is mad and scary. Have any breaches of legislation been reported to the commission in the area of age verification?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation: Data Protection Commission (3 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: Could the commission investigate these further or does it need more legislation? Perhaps the data has not been processed yet.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation: Data Protection Commission (3 Apr 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation: Data Protection Commission (3 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: Absolutely. My final point is about data subject access rights and the gardaí. Does the commission have any role in respect of data held by gardaí? There have been a number of cases where people have sought information about themselves from gardaí but did not get the full facts, supposedly for security reasons. Is there anything people can do or anything the commission can...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation: Data Protection Commission (3 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: I am trying to establish whether gardaí could hide behind national security considerations.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation: Data Protection Commission (3 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: Is it the case that there is no impediment to the Data Protection Commission asking gardaí? I am thinking of a particular case where people were denied information and we have heard of a number of tragic cases where people applying for citizenship have been told to come along to the ceremony, only to get a letter shortly before the event telling them it is being postponed. They ask why...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation: Data Protection Commission (3 Apr 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation: Data Protection Commission (3 Apr 2019)

Retention of Records Bill 2019: Second Stage (2 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: The preservation of the records of the three inquiries would be welcomed by everybody. It is probably overdue in many ways. The fact that positive act, and the legislation being proposed to do that, would also contain within it one of the more regressive, unhelpful and draconian elements of legislation is appalling. It strikes a chilling tone. This is being enforced in respect of citizens...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Air Accident Investigations (2 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: There is something incredibly weird about all of this. I certainly do not have the answers but I will keep asking the questions. There are issues with search and rescue oversight in this State - on that I am absolutely clear. There is a lack of clarity and there are gaps in responsibility. Regarding the Irish Aviation Authority specifically, does the Minister think the current...

Clare Daly: 6. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 305 of 13 March 2019, if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the second interim report into the Rescue 116 disaster states that no second interim report will be forthcoming in view of the fact that a draft report is at an advanced stage; and when the report will be finalised. [15032/19]

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Air Accident Investigations (2 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: We have just passed the second anniversary of the tragic loss of life in the Rescue 116 disaster. The second interim report, which the Minister promised me would update us on the progress made to date, did not say anything. It was basically blank. The first interim report highlighted how an audit in 2010 by the International Civil Aviation Organization observed that while the Irish...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Air Accident Investigations (2 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: I would like to put on the record that I think there is something very strange about this situation. For ten years, the Irish Air Line Pilots Association, IALPA, has been raising concerns with successive Governments and Ministers for Transport, Tourism and Sport regarding the IAA's effectiveness in fulfilling its safety, regulatory and oversight obligations. We know that the first interim...
