What this is about
The Data Sharing and Governance Act Framework for sharing data builds upon the Data Sharing and Governance Act 2019 (DSGA) by setting out a common set of practices for all Public Bodies to follow when they wish to use the Act as their legal basis for sharing data. Under the Framework, data sharing agreements between public bodies for the purpose of sharing personal data will be made available for public consultation for a period of 28 days.
What we are consulting on
The Department of Foreign Affairs intends to enter into a Data Sharing Agreement under the DSGA with the Health Service Executive for the purpose of providing the signed undertaking, received by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) in the course of an Emergency Travel Certificate (ETC) Application, to the Health Service Executive where a child has been born overseas via international surrogacy.
This Data Sharing Agreement covers sharing of Personal Data in the form of providing the signed undertaking to the Health Service Executive to assist it in the providing healthcare services that may be required by children born through international surrogacy once they arrive in Ireland.
