Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

I am concerned that the Minister has been less than forthcoming with information. First, he informed the House that there were only three cases. One hour later, he informed us that there are a further six cases. We still do not know whether any look-back procedure has been used or whether a spot-checking mechanism was introduced to determine the extent to which access to information was abused by his officials. I will repeat my earlier question. What role has the Data Protection Commissioner had in this debacle and what sanctions or recommendations has he made regarding the operation of the Department?
