Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation: Data Protection Commission (3 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: That is the answer. I was a bit scared about some of the points made about the public services card, PSC, investigation and found the responses to Deputy Wallace's questions a little bit chilling. The commission has been investigating this since 2017. The witnesses have said that things have moved on and the issues relating to driver's licences and so on have been sorted. In fairness, the...

Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: From the Seanad (20 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: ...State said has changed my mind, no more than anything that I have said has probably changed his. The other matter on which I will agree with him is that our amendments would not mean the end of the public services card. He is 100% right. It would not be the end of the public services identity. All of those things will continue to exist. Our amendments would just provide a simple...

Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: From the Seanad (20 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: ...without exclusively using the person's public service identity to do so. The Minister of State's argument would make sense if our amendment to section 7 said that a specified body may not make presentation of a public services card or access to any given element of a person's public services identity the exclusive basis by which a person may verify his or her identity in order to conduct...

Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (18 Dec 2018)

Clare Daly: ...there whatsoever. We fully accept that service providers can ask for any method of verification as they see fit. All we are saying here is that the public service provider cannot make the public services card the only way to verify identity. That is it. If loads of people want to use it, as I am sure they will, happy days. That is up to them. Equally, if they do not want to use it...

Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (18 Dec 2018)

Clare Daly: ...welfare payments hostage until that person surrenders or gives up the right to privacy, which is one of the fundamental rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. However, that is how the public services card has been used by the Department of Employment and Social Protection to date. If someone wants to use the public services card to verify their identity or give a body...

Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Second Stage (6 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: ...of being up-front and calling it a national identity card when introducing it to the population, we had a back-door version. It was introduced via the most vulnerable in society and called a public services card. A new policy was introduced - if somebody wanted to receive social protection payments, he or she had to obtain a public services card. If that did not happen, the person's...

Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2018)

Clare Daly: ...for a range of purposes. Amendment No. 141 is an effort to prevent the Government from continuing to maintain its gigantic and illegal biometric database, created through forcing people to get a public services card for a range of reasons such as getting a passport or, until recently, a driver's licence, reasons that have no basis whatsoever in law. They are very worthy provisions and,...

Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2018)

Clare Daly: ...a bit suspicious about why this clause is there. Is the Minister trying to provide cover for an issue that might not necessarily be compliant, as in the instance given by Deputy Wallace where the public services card is required to obtain a passport which is non-statutory? That might be called into question because the processing is of questionable legality. Is the Minister trying to...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Data Protection Bill 2018: Committee Stage (2 May 2018)

Clare Daly: ...will tell me that the provisions in subsection 5 would protect against this but there is a problem with that. The problem is the Irish State's record of data protection. We know it from the public services card and the primary online database. We know it not just from international problems but internationally. We must put this discussion in context. We do not have a good reputation...

Written Answers — Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection: Public Services Card Data (1 May 2018)

Clare Daly: .... To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 939 of 20 March 2018 if her Department holds biometric data on individuals in possession of a public services card in view of the fact that a recent e-tender (details supplied) for the provision of facial recognition software for the public services card explicitly states that the...

Data Protection Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Apr 2018)

Clare Daly: ...the privacy compromising status quo. That is not a surprise when it comes to data protection. It is difficult to accept the State as an honest broker in this regard. One only has to consider the public services card, individual health identifiers project, CCTV projects in Limerick, wide-ranging Garda surveillance powers and powers to access phone records, and a data retention regime,...

Written Answers — Department of Social Protection: Public Services Card (20 Jun 2017)

Clare Daly: 2013. To ask the Minister for Social Protection her views on whether the proposal to expand the range of public services for which a public services card will be required coupled with the proposal for the card to carry a person's date of birth constitutes the introduction of a national identity card by stealth; the range of legal and privacy issues such an introduction by stealth would give...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (14 Jun 2017)

Clare Daly: ...and also the rapidly developing case law from the EU Court of Justice. We have had the implications of the Barrett judgment in regard to information in the context of the recent actions on the public services card and the individual health identifier. In that scenario, we have one arm of Government, if one likes, engaged in a course of action of sharing data which seems to be blatantly...
