Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 6 September 2019
1958. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the names of external consultancies that delivered and continue to deliver advice and training on all aspects of GDPR in the context of preparedness and ongoing upskilling of staff regarding the regulation; the cost expended on the external advice and training of same to date in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35579/19]
View answerExternal consultancies have not, to date, been used to advise my Department on issues relating to GDPR. My Department has, however, procured in-house training on GDPR and data protection matters from three companies as detailed below. The services provided involved training staff in a classroom-type setting as well as the development of an e-learning module to be undertaken by all staff in the Department. Individual staff members have, separately, also been supported to attend GDPR-related courses and conferences hosted by external bodies.
