Mr. Barry Lowry:

It is a very good question because our Minister gave a similar response in that it is important that checks and balances are in place to ensure that Ministers behave appropriately. Obviously, the whole governance model and the ability to challenge under GDPR makes sure that there are appropriate checks and balances in place at State level, individual Department level or indeed public and private sector level. The governance role is very much there to show full compliance with the GDPR. It is not there to supersede or to try to act in tension with GDPR. It would be inappropriate if it was.
