During proceedings in a High Court case this week, Ms Caitriona Bracken, who was formerly with the Department, said it was "an accepted work practise of the department’s management and staff to release information to Gardaí, solicitors and private investigators upon request". That related to the release of an address.

Does the Minister have concerns about the risks, from a personal data perspective, associated with the retention of addresses?
