Separately, the PSC is a direct violation of EU law and part of the reason they didn’t legislate for it is that the Act would be incompatible and therefore void. They can bring in (as they have) a limited use card. But making it a mandatory state ID (which was the aim of the civil service) goes too far.
The classic example is the pension lady. She wanted to draw her pension and they department refused to allow her do so unless she had a PSC. She asked to see the legal basis for that requirement and (obviously) they refused/were unable to do so. Should the State be allowed to deny you services and entitlements to which you have a legal right because they want to force you to do something for which there is no legal basis? The obvious and unarguable answer is no.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

Also, as a side note, the PSC debacle may have given us the two stupidest statements from an Irish government since the turn of the century (and that’s really saying something).
1. “The PSC is not mandatory, but it is compulsory” - how’s that for double speak?
2. Regina Doherty absolutely rejects in a tweet on 27 August 2017 that the Department of Social Protection does not collect facial recognition data. She then, in response to a question from Catherine Murphy TD in the Dail Chamber says that the Department has been collecting facial recognition data for years and the PSC is nothing to worry about. She is then asked in a follow up why this contradicts her earlier statement and she blithely says “we collect pictures of people, that’s not biometric data” (Spoiler: it’s one of the literal definitions of biometric data)You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

Has anybody seen/been affected by a What's App virus/hack recently?
Mrs Lao Lao got a what's app message from her mate saying, "just accidentally sent you an activation code instead of sending it to myself, can you forward it on to me please".
A few seconds later, she got a text with an activation code which she tried to forward to her mate. Once she did it, she started to get loads more texts. She only then copped something wasn't right.
She called her friend who said her what's app had been hacked. Mrs Lao Lao then had some similar what apps message sent out claiming to be from her plus it appeared that somebody had control of her what's app.
She deleted what's app from her phone straight away but whoever had control of her whats app removed her from every group chat she was in and removed everybody else from groups she was admin on. This happened over the course of a few few hours.
She has since been able to reload what's app on her phone and she has full control over it but all messages/photos etc have been lost.
What are the security risks to the phone, if any? internet banking, etc all done on it and anything specific she should be doing to the phone. She is expecting a few important phone calls over the next few days so is reluctant to hand the phone into a repair shop right now.
Phone is an iphone and it's silver if that helps.

Why is it not possible for the state to have a compulsory ID card for all government services? It seems like an eminently sensible thing to me. Having loads of separate systems and processes for things is a huge waste of time and money. I get that people have a right to privacy, but if I'm getting stuff from the government from a few different departments and have to get a separate card or whatever for each one, is that not just a massive pain in the hole for everybody?

On another downward spiral I ended up fixated on "Only you" by Yazoo.
Amazing song, I've probably listened to 20 covers this weekend. I could post my favourite, or the original. But this one here stole the show. Apart from being a fantastic acapella rendition, there's so much going on.

But to do it with NO legislative basis. No debate in the Dail. No oversight mechanisms, that’s just illegal.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

I thought that was quite close, based on the rule change it seems fine, certainly looked worse in slow motion.

Yeah, there may have been some tiny bit of contact with the top of his arm, the rest looks like a soccer style performance but you couldn't be sure... he certainly doesn't under play it!
Harsh red but the rule is the rule once the ref decides there was contact.Turning millions into thousands

That was always my policy in any sport anyway. I think it's very different to say a simulated dive.

If that was the MCG and Mitchell Johnson running in to the Poms, you would have 80,000 bogans baying for blood. It's one of the great contests in sport - a truly fast bowler with his tail up running in with the crowd going nuts. If you can't handle that as a batsman (either technically or physcologically), you shouldn't be playing."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Originally posted by Kayroo View PostI can’t say I’ve noticed him being anti-Kerry but I wouldn’t be particularly sensitive to it. I actively try to not listen to a single word Dessie says. He is the commentary equivalent of an echo. The commentator gives the play by play and Dessie is supposed to give context and expand on the basics. Not our Dessie.

I don’t see how people could have a major problem with the card itself
