Public Services Card an example of 'how technology can be used against people living in poverty'

The Information Rights Project Manager for the Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL), Elizabeth Farries, has said that the Irish State is forcing disadvantaged people living in poverty to trade their data to access services to which they are already entitled.

She was referring to the public services card, which ICCL maintains is a well-known Irish example "of how technology can be used against people living in poverty."
