Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion
Mr. Michael Gubbins:
I will be brave. Ms Dixon's office concerns data. To some extent the digital safety commissioner would conflict with the Data Protection Commissioner's role. The Data Protection Commissioner is concerned with how we manage information and data and whether we should or should not keep it. The digital safety commissioner would actually look for information to help him or her to protect citizens. There is a slight conflict, so they should be two separate entities and not rolled into one office.
