Social Protection slow to share draft report on PSC
The Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection did not share the interim adversarial findings of the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) regarding the Public Services Card (PSC) with any affected bodies apart from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. This was despite being specifically asked and in a position to do so.
Earlier this week, the revealed that Social Protection was queried by the Road Safety Authority (RSA) about whether any “red flag” was raised by that interim report regarding the authority’s own prospective use of the PSC for its postal driving licence applications. The RSA received no definitive answer to that question.
