735. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to a data breach regarding customer information at the National Driving Licence Service; the measures he is taking to preserve privacy online and protection of citizens' data in the wake of this significant breach of Internet privacy; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The operation of the National Driver Licensing Service is a matter for the Road Safety Authority (RSA).   The RSA informed me of the breach and assured me that no personal financial information was compromised. I understand that the RSA has notified the Data Commissioner of the incident. The RSA is also investigating the incident. As this is a matter for the RSA, I have forwarded the question to the Authority for direct reply, and I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received in the next ten days.
