- Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (18 Dec 2018)
Eamon Ryan: There was an interesting lecture last week by Marc Rotenberg from a US privacy NGO called the Electronic Privacy Information Center. He spoke at a free legal aid conference about the issue of data privacy. It was a very interesting presentation, at the end of which he asked what star we followed because it was highly complex and difficult to get this matter right. It was always going back...

Patrick O'Donovan: I discussed this at length with Deputy Chambers in committee and I thank his spokesperson for engaging with me and my officials in the past couple of days. We also discussed this at length. The provision that is referred to here is: "Any contracts in respect of consultancy, advice or other services to the board shall be subject to public competition." It is already the case in hundreds, if...
- Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (18 Dec 2018)
Patrick O'Donovan: I move amendment No. 1:In page 10, lines 9 to 11, to delete all words from and including “excepting” in line 9 down to and including “data” in line 11. From the outset, it has always been my intention that this Bill would not apply to the sharing of special categories of data specified in Article 9 of the general data protection regulation, GDPR. At the outset, I...
- Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (18 Dec 2018)
Jonathan O'Brien: ...proposed to take Fifth Stage now? I did not agree. I am asking why it is being proposed to put it back to the new year. It is very unusual. Having dealt with Report Stage tonight, I would rather continue to Fifth Stage. It is not my issue if the Minister of State's nose is out of joint at some of the amendments that have been passed, it is his issue. I would rather that Fifth Stage...

Mick Wallace: The Minister of State did not answer Deputy Jonathan O'Brien's question about making the problem around procurement a priority for the Government in the new year. It came to light only a couple of months ago that Accenture had broken over 90 procurement rules in 2017 alone. It broke 75 in 2016. There were not even buns thrown at it. Does anyone give a damn about procurement rules? Hardly...

Mick Wallace: The Minister of State said on Committee Stage that he could not accept our amendments. Obviously, he is trying to reverse the amendments we secured at the time relating to the public services card and the public service identity data set. The Minister of State said the measures would be in direct conflict with existing legislation. He referred to the Social Welfare Consolidation Act. This...

Clare Daly: Amendments Nos. 4 and 10 attempt to row back on the amendments that Deputy Wallace succeeded in getting passed on Committee Stage. Amendment No. 5 is really a companion amendment to the amendments we succeed in getting through on Committee Stage and will be necessary if those two amendments remain in the Bill. I believe that they should remain. The Bill has undoubtedly improved a good...
- Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (18 Dec 2018)
Clare Daly: At the heart of the amendments is the idea that the once-only collection of data that the Government is proposing seems to be justified solely on the grounds of so-called efficiency. It is not really clear for whom it is efficient. If one boils things down to basics, the Bill has two main goals, namely, to provide a legal basis for public bodies to share data among each other and to set...
- Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Report Stage (18 Dec 2018)
Patrick O'Donovan: I shall speak first to amendments Nos. 6 and 9. The two amendments, in the names of Deputies Wallace and Clare Daly, propose that a person be allowed to opt out of the once-only principle that a person need provide details only once for a public body. The once-only principle is only one of a list of purposes in section 13 of the Bill, at least one of which must be engaged for the data...
