- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (26 Sep 2019)
Seán Fleming: Ms Dixon might clarify what she stated earlier. She indicated that she was setting out to publish a report containing a great deal of information and that she concentrated on transparency and retention. What will come next? Has the commission commenced that work? She might apprise the public in that regard. I gather that the report is only the first step. It has been published and, to...

Seán Fleming: Is the commission examining the use of the chip, given that no State bodies seem to be able to use it? To paraphrase Ms Dixon, it is unnecessary for the card to have a chip if no one uses it, and she is against collecting unnecessary information or data. Is the chip an unnecessary component, given that nobody seems to have a plan to use it? We were told years ago the intention was to...

Seán Fleming: I am sure Ms Dixon understands my reason for asking the question. The current and future location of the commission's office has been mentioned a number of times.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (26 Sep 2019)
Seán Fleming: I take the point. Everyone says that the OPW is wonderful but it is not. We have not found it to be.

Seán Fleming: I do not like overdoing constituency talk but this is relevant to the Vote, particularly given that the cost of accommodation was mentioned. Portarlington is a zero cost to the organisation, which is important. Is this the DPC's largest investigation to date or has it engaged in larger ones?

Seán Fleming: Is there an audit of the 31 local authorities?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (26 Sep 2019)
