Mr. John McKeon:

There are issues that arise in data protection, more to do with what is considered by the Data Protection Commissioner, for example, as mass mailings. Sometimes we run into issues - sometimes we do not - when we want to invite jobseekers to a free job fair where there are employers and sometimes eyebrows are raised about whether we should use the contact detail we have to advise them. The Department's view is that we can and should and that it is proper. There has been no determination on it.
