GDPR training will continue to be provided in my Department as required.
It is also intended that my Department's Data Protection Officer will participate in centrally coordinated training aimed at Government departments, when that becomes available later this year. Data Protection Officers should be in a position to avail of training opportunities to develop their skills as necessary and without any particular time limitations.
As regards the agencies under the remit of my Department, I have requested Tusla - the Child and Family Agency, the Office of the Ombudsman for Children, the Adoption Authority of Ireland and Oberstown Children Detention Campus to forward the requested information directly to the Deputy.
