2018 Financial Statements of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner

Ms Helen Dixon:

To clarify, those fines were imposed by the courts and are in respect of violations of the e-privacy regulations. It is a matter for the Courts Service to collect them. The prospective process we are discussing in terms of fines under the GDPR is a different process, and those fines will be imposed by the Data Protection Commission and collected by us, albeit the courts will confirm the fines. There are two different processes at issue.
