Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring:

We have not received many complaints of that nature. Where they have been received, they have been about the leaking of information to the media or other parties. Investigating leaks to the media is challenging and difficult and many of our investigations have been discontinued because it has not been possible to resolve them. We advise people to deal with data protection personnel when there are personal data leaks. While this has not been a particular issue of concern, it may become more of a concern with new demands under the general data protection regulation.
