Seán Sherlock: ..., Senators and others, will have in advocating on behalf of the people they represent who will interface with this new office. What is being created here seems similar to the Department of Social Protection, and it is normal practice for us to interface with that Department and the HSE on regular payments being paid out by the State. This is particularly the case regarding the Department...

Mother and Baby Institutions Redress Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2022)

Seán Sherlock: ...an archive but it adds insult to injury if people who have presented to the confidential committee are now being told that testimony will be archived and housed elsewhere. There must be all sorts of difficulties in respect of the general data protection regulation, GDPR, and the ethics or lack of ethics when it comes to taking all of that information and putting it into an archive without...

Seán Sherlock: ...bloc. In many ways, Singapore is a major competitor of Ireland’s, as it has also positioned itself as a hub for global trade and commerce. However, we have concerns about human rights and the protections available in Singapore. The Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act 2021 that was passed just two weeks ago is deeply concerning because it targets so-called "foreign...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Jul 2021)

Seán Sherlock: Has the Data Protection Commission reached the end of the line in its involvement with this legislation? I ask this because if there is to be a data protection impact analysis, presumably the DPC is still in, what I would call, an iterative process in respect of the legislation. I ask Mr. Sunderland for clarity on that.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Jul 2021)

Seán Sherlock: ...was an issue that was on my mind and I wanted to seek clarity on it. Mr. Sunderland has confirmed what I thought. This is an iterative process and the DPC has yet to fully analyse or process the data protection impact assessment. In light of that, and once that analysis is done, I ask the Chair if there is a possibility of hearing further from the DPC on how this legislation works in...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Waste Management (19 May 2021)

Seán Sherlock: ...I merely wish to know whether the Government is giving active consideration to this. In anticipation of the Minister of State's response, I would say please do not come back to me with the general data protection regulation, GDPR, response or the sensitive medical data response. The Minister of State has responsibility for that area. It has been thrown up as a red herring in respect of...

Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes: Motion [Private Members] (24 Feb 2021)

Seán Sherlock: .... If the Government is not opposing it, does it follow that the life of the commission will be extended? I do not believe that is the case because the Minister's remarks thus far suggest otherwise. I wish to speak on the issue of data protection because there are some elements of this that are unclear in my mind. On 11 February, the Minister wrote to the clerk of the Joint Committee on...

Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (22 Oct 2020)

Seán Sherlock: ...and tracing. We do not have an information and tracing Bill. That renders this Bill and its effects useless for the countless people who will want access to information on the contents of the database. I am not convinced that the Minister's amendments will ameliorate that. We have been told that there are 60,000 records. My colleague, Senator Ivana Bacik, said in the Seanad: "If one...

Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (21 Oct 2020)

Seán Sherlock: ...and approved by Government. To date, no request for an extension has been received. As such, if this legislation is not enacted by 30th October, then we will have failed to preserve the unique database developed by the Commission and provide for its use in line with data protection and other existing law. Forgive my blinding ignorance and I seek the assistance of the Ceann Comhairle...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Insurance Industry Regulation (24 Sep 2020)

Seán Sherlock: ...State but the response does not inspire me, to be honest. If the Central Bank was fulfilling its obligation as the "watchdog", it would already have the evidence. If the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, CCPC, tell us it has investigated practices as far back as 2015 and 2016, what was the Central Bank doing in that period? There should already be a book of evidence on the...

Seán Sherlock: ...terms of accessing services in those instances. My understanding of the issue - I could be wrong and, if so, I will defer to the Minister - is that the question arises as to whether the requisite data protection impact assessment was carried out in respect of the card. Finally, if the public services card is to succeed and to transcend its use only within the Minister's Department,...

Social Welfare (Covid-19) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (28 Jul 2020)

Seán Sherlock: Let us be 100% clear. Joan Burton had nothing to do with the changes to the PUP brought by the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection on 12 July through the statutory instrument, SI 242/2020. With no public notice, the Minister changed the rules for the Covid-19 PUP and for other unemployment payments meaning that recipients could not take holidays abroad. Previously, they...
