Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was taken to task by Sinn Fein's John Brady during Leader's Questions on Wednesday over Data Protection Commissioner Helen Dixon's report on the legality of the Public Services Card .
Minister for Social Protection Regina Doherty said publicly this week that her department had no plans to comply with any of the instructions in the report, which is likely to result in a lengthy legal fight. "I say embarrassing when I think of the 470 unnumbered scanned pages, sent by the department as their response to the initial draft of the report, like a child throwing a tantrum, unprofessional and unbefitting of a Government department within this state."
"You said yesterday that your view on the DPC's findings is supported by outside legal counsel, I believe that advice should be published by Government in the public interest, will you publish it?" "The reason why most people like it is instead of going through rigmarole of supplying paperwork and getting passport photos when dealing with a new Government service, you only have to do that once.
