Has the Data Protection Commissioner voiced any issues? I liken this aspect to some of the listing in the context of housing lists. Often, there are priority lists based on very personal information and there is a correlation in this regard concerning who has access to it. In my constituency, I have certainly come across people's information being shared with the wrong body. It is being done in good faith by NGOs or Government bodies trying to make the right decisions. It can, though, get quite difficult. Has the Data Protection Commissioner raised any particular concerns in this regard?
