Since 1 June 2002 to date, there were no instances where personal data held by my Department or any agency under its auspices, was compromised in any way. The review by my Department of data security procedures announced by the Tánaiste on 22 November 2007 is completed. No significant shortcomings were found. On an ongoing basis my Department reviews its data security procedures with a view to updating and improving them. The data security procedures are also independently reviewed and any recommendations arising from those reviews are actioned.
