Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I advise the Deputy that while I cannot share personal details relating to an individual, I can state that my Department engages and cooperates fully with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.

I can assure the Deputy that had that organisation issued an instruction or given advice to my Department, including in relation to former employees, it would have been implemented promptly.
