Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 November 2014
42. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he will provide in tabular form, the number of staff in his data protection office; if he has a specified data protection officer; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44730/14]
View answerAlthough my Department does not have a dedicated Data Protection Office, data protection functions are the responsibility of a specified Data Protection Officer at senior management level who is supported by a number of key staff within my Department and its Offices.
Set out in tabular format is the number of staff involved in Data Protection duties for my Department and its Offices only.
Finally, I have asked the Agencies under the aegis of my Department to advise me of the number of staff designated to deal with Data Protection within their organisations and I will communicate that information to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
