Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media

My Department has no role in relation to protection of privacy by media or other entities.

The Data Protection Commission, which comes within the remit of the Department of Justice,  is the relevant authority to oversee compliance with Data Protection legislation.
