Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations: Minister for Justice and Equality (10 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: ...allow us to opt in to only certain aspects of the regulation, one which has been passed anyway so there is nothing we can do about it at this stage. Because we are not in Schengen most of it does not apply to us anyway. I do accept that, including the most controversial aspects that we discussed last night, but that does not mean that we have not got an obligation to be critical of those...

Clare Daly: ...and rape cases the processing of examination kits was awaited. We were told that the demands on the service would be alleviated in the move to Kildare and by the recruitment of 24 personnel. How does that tally with the cut of €10 million? Why were the jobs axed, particularly given the delays in dealing with rape and sexual assault cases which could be longer than one year, which...

An Bille um an Ochtú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Neodracht) 2018 : An Dara Céim [Comhaltaí Príobháideacha] - Thirty-Eighth Amendment of the Constitution (Neutrality) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: ...for St. Patrick's Day told us, as veterans who passed through Shannon Airport, that they had guns in their pockets despite the fact that we have been told here repeatedly by successive Ministers that that does not happen. Those men told us that that is what they did and what all of their colleagues did as they went through Shannon Airport. We know from our own case, in terms of when we...

EU Regulations: Referral to Joint Committee (9 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: ...us. Last October, the justice committee was asked to approve two proposals from the European Commission that touched on the same area of interoperable border IT systems as this regulation does. What was proposed then was a vast, centralised database of a massive range of highly sensitive, biometric and personal data belonging to 218 million non-EU citizens visiting or living within...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Pyrite Issues (9 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: ...it. That was six months ago and a year after the Minister of State and I met the board on this issue, yet it still refuses to include that case. It is madness. There is no impediment. If it does not listen to the Minister of State, what hope do I have as a Deputy? We need some forum to call the board to account.

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

Clare Daly: ...is a challenging role. My criticisms are in no way directed at any of the witnesses because I recognise that data protection is a challenging job. As the commission is funded by Government, how does it deal with that conflict and in light of it would it be better if the commission was funded by Europe? How would the witnesses describe the commission's relationship with the permanent...

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

Clare Daly: ...be terribly complex or long-winded, why have no fines been levied? Is the commission satisfied that none of the cases which have been concluded met the threshold for a fine and how much discretion does it have in that regard? Have there been internal discussions on whether a fine should be levied? We see fines as an effective mechanism for correcting behaviour. A strong signal tends to...

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

Clare Daly: Ms Morgan's response does not address the question. My question started when her response ended. I am speaking specifically about cases which the commission has concluded fairly in accordance with the legislation. I know that the commission has identified breaches. In the context of all those cases the commission fairly and transparently investigated, there was no case in respect of which...

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

Clare Daly: ...of stuff. That said, 470 pages is not an enormous amount, given the time this investigation has been going on. When can we expect it to be concluded? I know the witnesses said the commission does not have the expressed powers to publish but do they think there is a legal impediment to publishing, or did I understand the witnesses correctly in replying to Deputy Wallace that the...

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

Clare Daly: And if the Department does not consent, the commission cannot publish.

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

Clare Daly: ...for Employment Affairs and Social Protection reiterated her view and, I suppose, that of the Department that a SAFE 2 PSC photograph is not itself biometric in nature and that the Department does not collect or share biometric data. Do the witnesses agree with those two statements?

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

Clare Daly: ...market was created when we raised the age of consent to 16. That is interesting and not surprising. Leaving that aside, how is the age of consent being implemented? How is the age being verified? Does the commission know if companies are using technical fixes or what is going on with that verification? I know that in the US under the Child Online Protection Act, COPA, companies are...

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

Clare Daly: Could the commission investigate these further or does it need more legislation? Perhaps the data has not been processed yet.

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

Clare Daly: Absolutely. My final point is about data subject access rights and the gardaí. Does the commission have any role in respect of data held by gardaí? There have been a number of cases where people have sought information about themselves from gardaí but did not get the full facts, supposedly for security reasons. Is there anything people can do or anything the commission can...

Retention of Records Bill 2019: Second Stage (2 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: ...to living persons... That clause already exists and it is adequate to protect any information or any person in need of protecting. The excuse, therefore, of why we need this gagging order inserted does not hold water. The sensitivity and interests of the people who might be damaged regarding information they gave in confidence is already protected under the legislation to which I...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Air Accident Investigations (2 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: ...search and rescue oversight in this State - on that I am absolutely clear. There is a lack of clarity and there are gaps in responsibility. Regarding the Irish Aviation Authority specifically, does the Minister think the current corporate governance structure of the authority is appropriate for good safety regulatory oversight and enforcement? In particular, I would like him to...

Sea-Fisheries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (28 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: ...was illegal because it had no basis in law. The choice to legislate is entirely the Minister's choice and it is on his head if our inshore is turned into a wasteland, as it will be if he does not agree to the amendments that we have put forward. That would address the issue of the foreign boats but without that we are talking about standing over a wasteland.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Child Protection (28 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: In fairness, it was an excellent report and perhaps we should be looking for more time in the Chamber to discuss some of these issues. I acknowledge, as the special rapporteur does also, that there have been measures implemented, particularly in respect of preventing and responding to abuse now. Progress has been made in this area and that is a fact. I am glad to see the Minister has...

Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Local Authority Housing Rents (28 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: ...Planning, and Local Government if it is standard practice for local councils to postpone rent reviews for a decade or more, leading to large increases in rent in cases in which the postponed review does take place as in the case of County Longford; his views on whether this is best practice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14586/19]

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: The Minister said that Fingal County Council came round to the view and that it did not really need much persuading but we do not know whether it needed any persuading at all because the record does not show evidence of any meetings whatsoever. There are no minutes or records of contact but what the record does show is that subsequent to the Minister's decision to appoint Fingal County...
