Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 April 2017
344. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Social Protection his views on communications between an elected representative and Turas Nua regarding a person engaged with Turas Nua with the person's consent; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17539/17]
View answerPublic Representatives may seek information from the JobPath service providers on behalf of an individual with that individual’s consent. The process to be followed by the provider in this instance is set out in the Data Protection Protocol issued to the service providers as part of the contract documentation. This process includes establishing that an inquirer is a public representative and is acting on behalf of and with the customer's consent. The JobPath service provider will keep a record of all such inquiries.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
