Rebecca Moynihan: I thank our guests for coming. In our pre-legislative scrutiny, we had a long, and at times tortuous, discussion about online political advertisements. We tended to focus on data management and protection when it comes to online political advertisement. In the past week or so, we have seen that outside actors for nefarious purposes are spreading disinformation online. That is particularly...

Rebecca Moynihan: ...intention behind it to tackle anti-competitive practice, for instance, where businesses engage in price-fixing and other breaches of competition laws.

Seanad: Energy Security: Statements (2 Nov 2021)

Rebecca Moynihan: ...August. I am aware other Senators have referred to delays in supply caused by the pandemic but it is also notable it took four speakers before we got to Senator Boylan, who mentioned the impact of data centres on the national grid. It is not sustainable for households to have the rises that are coming up this winter and into the future. We need to ensure we are energy secure but also...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Electoral Reform Bil 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (20 May 2021)

Rebecca Moynihan: It is my understanding that, as a result of an outcome of the European case last year, all data must be stored in the EU to ensure the full protection of GDPR. Can I ask each of the parties to confirm that all of their data, whether membership data or electoral data, is stored in the EU and, if not, can they confirm where it is stored? I will have one more question but I would like to get...

From a Labour Party perspective, it is critical that the terms and conditions of workers in local authorities are protected.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: ^ General Scheme of Electoral Reform Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Mar 2021)

Rebecca Moynihan: ...fit for purpose, but perhaps not for the same reasons. Within the longer submission supplied, there was talk of privacy concerns about identifying natural persons. Last week, we questioned the deputy Data Protection Commissioner who said he considers that the definitions involved in that do not give rise to any privacy concerns. Perhaps Mr. Ó Broin can outline why he thinks that is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of Electoral Reform Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Mar 2021)

Rebecca Moynihan: .... Does Ms Carolan believe that this matter should be included in the electoral commission's remit outside of elections or am I picking her up wrong? I will ask a brief question about the Data Protection Commission, DPC. I had a meeting with Facebook. It spoke about the names and postal addresses of people being publicly available and stated it would be much better for the regulator to...

Seanad: Local Government (Use of CCTV in Prosecution of Offences) Bill 2021: Second Stage (5 Mar 2021)

Rebecca Moynihan: ...time we knock on a door, the first issue people raise is the need to tackle dog poo and illegal dumping. People talk about GDPR gone mad. The most illustrative case of that was the move by the Data Protection Commission to reprimand local authorities for the use of CCTV in tackling illegal dumping. Illegal dumping is the scourge of the country and we need to do all we can with the tools...
