General Scheme of Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion

10:30 am

Ms Helen Dixon:

We are responsible in general terms for supervising all bodies, both public and private sector, in Ireland. That includes enforcement authorities. It is within our remit to supervise any area of bodies' processing of personal data, and if an area of risk, such as what the Deputy may be outlining now, comes to our attention, it is at our discretion to focus our resources in examining it.
