He also explains how Head 9 would allow the NCSC to compel communications providers, such as WhatsApp and iMessage, to install surveillance devices on their networks to scoop up metadata of every user of the service on the basis of ‘national security’. (7/15)

Here @tjmcintyre.com explains why it’s so problematic that the Bill is putting the NCSC - which is being given very broad powers - under the direct political control of the Minister. (14/15)

Watch @tjmcintyre.com explain why having no definition of 'national security' anywhere in Irish law means this could lead the NCSC to have a very open-ended power, left to the discretion of the Minister, to order the surveillance of the communications of everyone in the State. (9/15)

Here @tjmcintyre.com explains why allowing the NCSC to scan in this way is so problematic. (4/15)

Senator Lynn Ruane asked attendees if they believed the powers provided under the Bill cross the line from cybersecurity measures into surveillance powers. (12/15)

In short, they agreed. (13/15)

While ICCL broadly welcomes The Garda Powers Bill, we are concerned that there are no definitions of specific types of searches or what rank of gardaí is can authorise each type; insuficient record of stop and searches; and there is insufficient protection of journalistic privilege.

Finally, watch @tjmcintyre.com recommend to the committee that, moving forward, the sections of the Bill that are not required under NIS2 should be dropped to allow for the straightforward transposition of NIS2 and then the State can consider what else is necessary. (15/15)

Olga Cronin, ICCL Senior Policy Officer, spoke at the AI Committee this week, highlighting the work we have done with Digital Rights Ireland to urge An Garda Síochána, Coimisúin Na Meán and the DPC to fully investigate Grok’s faciitation of the creation of CSAM and other illegal and harmful content.

Watch @tjmcintyre.com tell the committee how Head 6 would allow the NCSC to scan any publicly accessible network or information system for vulnerabilities - without their knowledge or consent - including small businesses, NGOs, homes, or politicians’ offices. (3/15)

Anas Sarwar — clear, confident and bold… but is anyone listening? Strong in interviews, sharp on tax, growth and education. But when Westminster looms large, even the clearest message gets drowned out. #Scotland #Politics #Elections #UKPolitics

This will probably be the iconic memory I have from OldestAmazingDaughter™️’s lacrosse career. Incredible team play to beat a ranked opponent and filling the night sky with joy in the midst of a cold downpour.

Absolutely!! I have no idea why I took this video that night but every time I watch it I can feel the peace I felt at that moment. In Texas, the summers get so hot that I would rather go out at night and weed. After dark you see some cool things in the garden. I highly recommend.

" Other than successful targeting, we haven't seen anything...I think it's vitally important that Americans see what is going on—especially in those bases." Martha Raddatz says the Pentagon isn’t giving reporters access to US bases in the Persian Gulf that were attacked by Iran.

As we move toward turning 3 on 2/25/26 and our celebratory party on Monday 2/23/26, we wanted to take a look back at where we've come from. But wait, what about 2025? Send us your favorite photos so we can make a new memory video :)

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 A time was had ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

This moment is bigger than party. It’s about whether we're working to improve people’s lives. Where things are working, let's continue them. But where they're not, let's be bold enough to redefine our politics and just solve problems.
