12 Jun 2025 Department of Social Protection (DSP)DPC: 550,000 EUR against Irish social protection ministry over facial matching without legal basis €550,000
For registration for the Public Services Card, the ministry created biometric facial templates of a large part of the population without a sufficiently clear legal basis, with deficient information and an incomplete data protection impact assessment. Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) issued a reprimand, imposed 550,000 EUR and ordered the biometric processing to be stopped within nine months if no valid legal basis is found.
Biometric procedures require a precise statutory basis and a complete impact assessment before they are rolled out widely.
