The named organisation's data governance policy is provided at the following link: www.sheep.ie/legal-and-privacy/

The use of genomic and other data for secondary purposes are subject to consents or service level agreements between individual breeders/breed societies and the named organisation. My Department did not conduct a data protection impact assessment concerning this matter as this agreement is between breeders/societies and the named organisation and it is their responsibility to comply with data protection legislation.
