Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) John Brady: Okay. Certainly, I think there were internal submissions saying the Department was facing fines of up to €1 million. Regarding the fine of €22,500 for the compilation of very sensitive information and breaching data protection rules, Mr. Watt's own officials in the Department would say it got off lightly for that unlawful practice. Would he agree?

I am asking you, as the Secretary General, if you can give us assurances that the rulings laid down by the Data Protection Commissioner are now fully enforced and that the Department is fully in line with the ruling from the Data Protection Commissioner.

The Department of Health has been found by the Data Protection Commissioner to have been breaching data laws and he is not sure as to whether there has been an apology. Will he take the opportunity here now to apologise to those families who were directly impacted?

A fine of €22,500 was issued and Mr. Watt's own officials say the Department got off lightly. I am asking him now if he will issue an apology to those families.

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) John Brady: Okay, but I think this is a missed opportunity here this morning. Regarding the whistleblower who exposed this practice regarding these dossiers, Shane Corr, would Mr. Watt agree that he did the State a massive service in exposing this rotten practice within the Department?
