Mick Wallace: The next Government might be about three parties, rather than two.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: I do not think so. Fine Gael might have had its fill of them this time.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: I will oppose the section. We might be deemed to be wiser to oppose it and adhere to the GDPR in full, rather than trying to shape the section. My amendment is a fall-back position if the section is not completely opposed. We would like to return to it on Report Stage. Article 9 of the GDPR is very clear that the processing of political opinion is prohibited without the full and informed...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: I wish to address the point made by Deputy Jim O'Callaghan. If a really nice individual who I like comes to my door and asks me for my vote and I tell him that I will give it to him and he happens to be from Fianna Fáil, I might not want it to be made public or recorded that I was actually prepared to support Fianna Fáil. Someone might want to make a call and agree to support a...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: I apologise, Chairman, but I meant to interject when we were on section 42. Perhaps I am too late, but there is something I wish to raise on Report Stage.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: I reserve the right to speak and possibly introduce amendments about external databases that hold special categories of personal data. The ISideWith online campaign has data for more than 100,000 individuals which are available to be used in micro-targeting. They are held in the United States beyond the jurisdiction of GDPR, but they could still potentially be used in the future to affect...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: I move amendment No. 67:In page 31, line 24, after “subjects,” to insert “and subject to subsection (2),”. Recital 52 of the GDPR states exemptions in the processing of special categories of personal data can be provided for in member state law in settling claims for benefits and services under the health insurance system. I acknowledge that section 47 invokes...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: On the issue of "substantial public interest", German data protection legislation specifically restricts processing in this sense to public authorities, and I think we should do the same. We are talking about sensitive personal data and I do not see any reason private companies would be processing sensitive data for what is referred to as "substantial public interest".

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: I move amendment No. 81:In page 35, to delete lines 11 to 15 and substitute the following:“(a) the Minister, provided that—(i) the Minister has consulted with such other Minister of the Government as he or she considers appropriate, (ii) the Minister has consulted with and sought the advice of the Commission, and (iii) the Minister has, if he or she intends to set out...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: It may not be directly relevant to the amendment but a threat to democracy is posed by how the mainstream media and the State-run, Government-controlled broadcaster, RTÉ, shapes the news. We have serious reservations about the threat posed to democracy by how RTÉ operates-----

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: I thought Deputies who wish to speak must do so through the Chair. The notion that social media is less authentic than mainstream media is a bit odd.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: Section 56 undermines Article 21 of the GDPR and the right to object. I acknowledge that the section refers to personal data rather than special categories of data such as political opinion, sexual orientation, ethnicity and so on. However, no provision in the GDPR allows the Government to deny data subjects the right to object to the processing of personal data. The Minister may object...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Mick Wallace: I move amendment No. 136:In page 86, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following: “Rights under Article 80(1)106. (1) In addition to the rights conferred on a data subject under Article 80(1) to mandate a not-for-profit body, organisation or association to which Article 80(1) applies to lodge a complaint on his or her behalf with the Commission and, under section 15(7) to take a...
