Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 July 2020
1137. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health if he will conduct a full audit of all data transferred with or without consent to a company (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15326/20]
View answerThe Minister for Health does not have the power to carry out audits of personal data flows between data controllers. Under GDPR, all data controllers need to regularly audit their holdings of personal data and the procedures they have in place to protect the data in order to ensure compliance with data protection law. External auditing of data controllers is a matter for the Data Protection Commission to decide upon and to undertake.
