Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 July 2018
328. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the training his Department and agencies under its aegis will receive on GDPR legislation; when it will be completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29854/18]
View answerMy Department has undertaken a comprehensive GDPR readiness project involving all business units.
The project has included data protection workshops held with individual business units designed to assist with the Department's readiness for the implementation of GDPR on 25 May this year.
As part of the overall project, there are a number of general GDPR training sessions open to staff which have already taken place or are scheduled to take place out to year end, as well as specific GDPR training for business units whose work involves significant data processing activities.
Agencies under the aegis of my Department are responsible for arranging their own training and I have therefore referred the question for direct reply. Please contact my Office if you have not received a reply within 10 days.
