Top civil servant Robert Watt defends ‘value’ of PSC

One of the country’s top civil servants has defended the public services card (PSC), saying the “value” of the project is “often misunderstood”.
Robert Watt, secretary general of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, has said the PSC project “puts Ireland in the very strong position of making available secure digital services at a fraction of the cost of some other countries”.
