Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Supplementary) (26 Nov 2019) Jack Chambers: The just transition is absolutely interlinked with the budgetary position of the Department over which the Minister presides. If it has made a decision to allocate additional resources to another project it may impact on issues such as the just transition.

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Supplementary) (26 Nov 2019) Jack Chambers: The Chair asked me to explain. If a company such as Oak Hill, which is providing the financial equity for the project, collapsed, what is the liability of the Department for that equity? When would it become involved? That absolutely would impact on issues such as the just transition and climate action.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: EirGrid: Chairman Designate (26 Nov 2019)
Jack Chambers: I am sorry for being late and thank Mr. Tuohy for his presentation. We have had a lot of discussion about the energy requirements of data centres, how the cost of them may hamper the decarbonisation process, and that the cost could fall on the consumer. We have had investments in wind energy but data centres will still rely on the national grid that predominantly relies on fossil fuels....

Jack Chambers: We know the role played by IDA Ireland. How will EirGrid plan for and manage the risk?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: EirGrid: Chairman Designate (26 Nov 2019)
Jack Chambers: I will now discuss the north-south interconnector. My colleague, Deputy Cassells, has made me aware of procurement by a Turkish company despite the fact that planning permission has not been received in Northern Ireland, which I think Mr. Tuohy mentioned to Deputy Ryan. Can Mr. Tuohy give a further update on the matter? What discussions has EirGrid had on the requirement for planning...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: EirGrid: Chairman Designate (26 Nov 2019)
Jack Chambers: Yes, I was here for that. I would like to hear further details on the procurement process because Mr. Tuohy has not given a specific answer.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Data Collection by Digital Assistants: Discussion (26 Nov 2019)
Jack Chambers: I thank the witnesses for appearing. I dealt with representatives of the DPC at the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality when we were processing the Data Protection Act 2018. I am alarmed by the soft wording in the statement provided by the DPC. There is reference to ongoing engagement with the companies. That is too soft and weak. The DPC has strong legislative back-up under GDPR and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Data Collection by Digital Assistants: Discussion (26 Nov 2019)
Jack Chambers: It is contempt for the legislative position within an Irish and European context. It is worrying that we are just allowing this to continue.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Data Collection by Digital Assistants: Discussion (26 Nov 2019)
Jack Chambers: If the commission is driving changes, it must ask what was wrong. If it has to improve transparency, clearly there was an issue with what it was doing prior to this. Mr. Sutherland did not mention any investigations in his opening statement.
