Regina Doherty called on to release legal advice received on Public Services Card

The Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection has been called upon to release the legal advice she received on the Public Services Card at a stormy Dáil session this evening.

Regina Doherty, who recently confirmed that she will challenge in the courts the adverse findings of the Data Protection Commissioner with regard to the controversial card, said that the “incredibly strong” legal advice received from the Attorney General and an external counsel would not be published.
