23. SJI Interviews Ep11: Doireann Ansbro and Liz Farries of ICCL on the civil liberties implications of COVID-19

COVID-19 has seen the introduction of unprecedented restrictions on movement, with powers of detention bestowed on medical officers and Gardaí.  There are also record numbers of people working from home with remote access to personal data that would otherwise only ever be accessed on work premises. 

In Episode 11 of our Interview series, Colette Bennett, Research and Policy Analyst chats (remotely) to Doireann Ansbro and Liz Farries of the Irish Council for Civil Liberties on the emergency measures legislation, the data protection implications of the crisis and what this all means from a civil liberties perspective.
