Alice-Mary Higgins: I will comment briefly on this because it is a new amendment. I do not have a counter amendment. Concern has been raised about the single customer view dataset associated with the public services card, PSC. The Minister of State referenced the PPSN but the single customer view dataset is wider than that. The issues are subject to some debate around interpretation. I refer to special...

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.

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.
