Alice-Mary Higgins: I thank the Minister of State and I acknowledge that there have been some significant steps forward on this, notably the provision in his amendment No. 2, which makes it clear that nothing in this Bill, except Parts 5 and 8 and Chapter 3 of Part 9 shall apply to special category personal data alleviates many of the amendments. Many of my amendments were submitted prior to the Government...

Seanad: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (3 Oct 2018)

Alice-Mary Higgins: My concern is with regard to the only exemption to a specified body disclosing a person's public service identity information to another specified body. The intention of the amendment is to expand the grounds not to be considered appropriate for the sharing of somebody's personal information with a specified body. Avoiding the financial and administrative burdens that would otherwise be...

Seanad: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (3 Oct 2018)

Alice-Mary Higgins: As the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan made clear, there is a right to object, but I hope a better way of dealing with it will be found in the Dáil. This amendment is not simply about objecting to the processing of personal data because in many cases people do not object at all but they may object to an automatic mechanism being put in place as to how their data will be processed....

Seanad: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (3 Oct 2018)

Alice-Mary Higgins: Amendments Nos. 11 and 17 relate to the concern about the public service card and the single customer view dataset. Again the measure we are looking to tackle here has become more important because we now have the Social Welfare Consolidation Act included in the rubric and it is now explicitly implicated in this Bill. We have major questions around the public service card and legal concerns...

Seanad: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (3 Oct 2018)

Alice-Mary Higgins: I realise we have much to get through so I will not speak at length. Given that the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 is referred to in this Bill, it is opened up to this suggested interpretation. Amendment No. 11 is compatible with that Bill. The Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 provides that there may be a requirement for the Minister to be satisfied. Amendment No. 11 complies...

Alice-Mary Higgins: I could debate at length the differences between what I am proposing in amendments Nos. 12 and 28 and the Government's exact proposal in amendment No. 27. It is important to acknowledge that the Government has gone a considerable way towards clarifying the basis on which data is being shared, the impetus for data-sharing and the kinds of ways in which data is shared. For example,...
