The dreaded National ID card is on the way. Say no more.

Run_to_da_hills

Only last week we are told that a proposed electronic card will be required to travel between the UK and Ireland. To night we are told of this new "wonderful" Government ID card for civil servants. No doubt this chipped photo card will issued to those on the dole so that they can collect their payments at the local post office.

It will also be issued to pensioners ones getting free travel and free medical. It may also be required as a photo ID card to those that don’t have an Irish Drivers licenses, and may compulsory to be used along with tickets to enter football matches to "prevent touting" and keep an eye on "hooligans"

According to the press "The new single card will replace a whole range of cards which are used to access Government services". In other words this is the dreaded RFID based National ID card creeping into Ireland.

For as long as I can remember you have had to show official photo id returning to Ireland by air.

I think it is a great idea. Civil liberites are always trying to scare-monger instead of actually being constructive and loping in their support but still trying to protect mis-use of these cards.

No more.

Where does it say "The dreaded National ID card is on the way"? A few people raised a concern that it could go down that path (As they always do / should), but you stated it as a fact ("In other words this is the dreaded RFID based National ID card creeping into Ireland.").

So because a group of people said somethign could happen, then it will?

Civil liberties group are a bunch of scareemongering whingebags at the best of times.

What swrong with ID cards anyway?Most of us have passports and Drivers licences that people whinge about being too bog to carry around.
None of my German friends or family have any issue with haveing an id card. But then again they seem capable of rational thinkiing.

You mean I voted no to Lisbon and they're still going to put microchips under our skin. The No campaign lied to me.

Nope, not under your skin. If you stare at the Libertas posters long enough an image of an RFID buttplug appears.

Who cares if a National ID card system is on the way?

dsmythy

It seems it's not as imminent as thought. Personally i think when they do come about it'll be great. Nothing to hide nothing to fear.

It is a fact no doubt about it. This is the card that will eventually let us pass between the UK and Ireland, access our dole payments and give certain people access into government buildings.


RFID is programmable and this "chameleon card" can change into any ID card that the Government wants it to once it is issued. Once it has a photo and microchip the door is open for all sorts of uses including the future driving license.

If your not on the dole or entitled to access government buildings you wont need one then. Your passport will let you travel.

Anyway. As I already said. I have no issue with a national ID card. It'll make life easier.

So this one card will replace lots of other cards?


So instead of carrying around many cards you just carry this ONE card...


And this is bad how?

I really can't see the problem with this. If you have nothing to hide, what's the issue?
