View answerUnder the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, the Data Protection Commission (DPC) is independent in the performance of its tasks and the exercise of its powers. I am advised that published statistics, which include Human Resources are available in the DPC’s most recent annual report, available at the following link: Data Protection Commission Annual Report 2024.
I am further advised that a more detailed breakdown, if required, can be sought via the DPC’s dedicated Oireachtas email address, oireachtasqueries@dataprotection.ie.
