Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) David Cullinane: No, but the Minister had a difficulty with it. The parliamentary question suggested that the Data Protection Commissioner, unfairly in my view, was not willing to meet. In fact, Ms McCrum, when she initially answered the question, said that on that date in August, the Data Protection Commissioner was not in a position to meet. The commissioner added a caveat that the implementation plan...

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) David Cullinane: I have one more question but I need to make the point that the Data Protection Commission was clear that there is a difference between findings and rulings. The Data Protection Commissioner makes rulings and has statutory powers. One of the points she made is that there is a growing awareness in some Departments about the role of the commissioner's office. It is not an advisory role, but...

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) David Cullinane: The Department referred to "collateral undermining of the Comptroller and Auditor General’s view on the PSC project". Collateral in layman's terms would be substantial. Would that be Mr. McCarthy's view?

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) David Cullinane: I want that point to be clear and then I will finish. It is an important point because the Data Protection Commissioner referred to this too. The Department's response to the Data Protection Commissioner at that point was that it represented a collateral undermining of Mr. McCarthy's report on the public services card. To be clear, that would not be Mr. McCarthy's view?

I have two or three questions on the public services card and JobPath. Mr. McKeon might have answered some earlier but I will ask specific questions I have. In a previous response, Mr. McKeon said that there is no halo of infallibility around anybody. We can accept that, whether we are talking about Mr. McKeon, the...

Was there some level of compensation for the number of cards short of the 3 million?

I ask that the Department would provide a note on the terms of the original contract, the number of times there was any reprofiling, rescheduling or renegotiation of that contract and what changes were made. That would be very helpful. The Comptroller and Auditor General had a slightly different view on this. At the time that we asked him...

I am assuming that the figure has gone up slightly since. Does Mr. McKeon have the most up-to-date figures with him?
