Public Accounts Committee

2018 Financial Statements of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner

9:00 am

Ms Helen Dixon:

Typically, we put the information into the public domain. In recent months, each time we have opened a new investigation, particularly into the big tech sector, we have issued a statement to that effect. Clearly, there is global interest in those investigations and in the extent to which people want to be on notice. The Deputy mentioned the investigation into the local authorities, which is already in the public domain. We put it into the public domain that our resources are currently focused on this area. We issue statements. In our annual report, we preview areas that are under investigation.
