Senator Byrne has already touched on the potential fallout of not passing these adequacy decisions or it not working out the way in which we would like. He also probed the DPC's ability to deal with that because one would think it would increase its workload. What is Mr. O'Dwyer's assessment of the impact on Irish businesses and organisations should that happen? The DPC's opening statement reads: "... the administrative and cost burden for all Irish organisations required to create their own compliance arrangements in accordance with Chapter V GDPR would be considerable." What level of assessment has the DPC carried out on the potential implications of that? Has it been engaging with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, for example, in that regard? Has there been any other inter-organisational engagement on this island to prepare for that potential outcome?
