I have requested the information sought from the bodies under the aegis of my Department and will write to the Deputy directly when the information is to hand.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 1285 to my Department, which was for answer on 14 June 2022 and in which you requested if a company has been used or is being used by my Department or any other agencies under my remit, including An Garda Síochána, including on a free-trial basis, in view of the fact that a media report has indicated An Garda Síochána has used the company and in view of the fact that there are serious data protection privacy concerns with the use of same; and if I will make a statement on the matter.
As you will recall, the information you requested could not be obtained in the time available and I undertook to contact you again. Please find a response to this question provided below for your consideration.
I can now confirm that neither my Department nor the agencies, bodies and offices under its aegis, have used or are currently using the company referenced.
