Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
General Scheme of Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion
10:50 am
Ms Helen Dixon:
That is a very helpful suggestion. We would be very pleased to come in at any point and make a presentation. We are extremely pleased to hear that there has been some consideration by Members of the Oireachtas of the way the new law applied to them. It would be useful to receive some of the questions they are hearing in advance. We have a dedicated email address, oireachtasatdataprotection.ie. Questions could be submitted to that email address, which would help us in drawing up guidance but also in preparing a presentation that addresses the kinds of issues about which Members of the Oireachtas are concerned. The Chairman is correct. They are considerable processors of personal data and sensitive personal data. We would be pleased to assist in giving guidance as to which provisions in particular apply and how they apply.
