I understand that the question is seeking clarification on the transfer of personal data and/or records, as per the Deputy's previous question, no. 333 of 17 January 2024, and my answer will therefore relate to personal data, rather than the transfer of data and/or records in general.
As previously set out, the work of my Department does not generally involve the collection or sharing of personal datasets. Personal data are only shared by my Department where there is a specific and legitimate need for such sharing, and details of what data is held or shared are set out in our Data Protection Statements which are published on our website.
Where personal data are shared, my Department has in place Data Sharing Agreements which set out in detail the roles and responsibilities of the bodies involved in the data sharing activity along with the technical safeguards that protect such personal data. The data shared - which would generally relate to Departmental staff information - may be aggregated or individual depending on the legislative provisions which set out the purpose for which the data can be shared.
