Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Benefacts Project: Discussion

Ms Patricia Quinn:
I would be glad of an opportunity to understand what might be the serious issue relating to data protection. It is important to us. We made a detailed submission on data protection when we started out, which I am happy to provide to the committee. The submission is a case statement for our approach to data protection and that led us to adopt a privacy impact statement and to change our policies vis-à-visthe holding of personal data. We hold almost no personal data and, indeed, the data available about company directors from other sources are greater than what is available from us.
