Minister for Health

The Data Protection Commission (DPC) is conducting a statutory inquiry under Section 110 of the Data Protection Act 2018 into processing of personal data by my Department in a number of court cases. This inquiry commenced in March 2021 and is ongoing. My Department is cooperating with and supporting the work of the DPC.
