Since my Department was established in June 2002, there have been no known instances where personal data held by my Department were compromised in any way. I also understand that there has been no instances, since June 2002, where personal data held by agencies under the ambit of my Department, were compromised in any way. The review of data security procedures, announced by An Tánaiste on 22 November 2007, is currently underway by my Department and it is anticipated that it will be completed in the near future.
