Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Electoral Reform Bil 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Maura McMahon:

I will brief. As has been said, elected representatives are separate data controllers and I would not presume to speak for them. However, as a party we have a commitment to ongoing continuous improvement and best practice. Our data protection officer champions work directly with the elected representatives and their staff on an ongoing basis as well as whatever direction and support is provided through the Oireachtas, but we are not aware of any use outside of headquarters.
