My Department has a designated FOI/Records Management/Data Protection Officer who is responsible for ensuring organisational compliance with Freedom of Information, National Archives and Data Protection Acts.
The data protection role includes the annual registration of my Department with the Office of Data Protection Commissioner, assigning data protection requests received to the relevant divisions and acting as a liaison between the Department and the Office of Data Protection Commissioner as and when required.
