RT @CBridge_Chief: Well.. I’d love to see the business case and planning for media transfer and storage as devices and tech evolve. I know a guy who scours eBay and car boot sales for old Zip Drives and tape drives to help preserve data in archives. […]

@PrivacyKit @morningireland @conor_w_ryan @Tupp_Ed Now, this is important.. when the Dept official was asked by a clinician they said they had an understanding that this was all fine. SC review doesn’t examine if this was a correct thing to say (I have views on this: ) […]

RT @CBridge_Chief: @PrivacyKit @morningireland just had @conor_w_ryan on with the details of the SC report. It is agogifying. Apparently the SC hung their assessment on previous legal advice the Dept got that the SC didn’t review. It’s turtles all the way down. […]

RT @CBridge_Chief: @PrivacyKit This is not a complex case. I wrote up the first part of my analysis of things last night. There is precisely zero valid reason why this should not be pursued quickly by @DPCireland and I am hopeful prompt action beyond simple correspondence will happen. […]
