Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 May 2023
137. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if his Department has carried out research into the profiling of workers' electronic equipment by employers, given reports internationally of the increasing use of monitoring software and privacy-busting software to track workers throughout the working day. [20340/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraIreland has a robust suite of employment rights legislation, which offers extensive protections to workers.
My Department has not carried out research into the profiling of workers’ electronic equipment by employers.
My understanding is that when an employer collects, uses or stores information about an employee, they must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018.
