Irish privacy campaigners made complaint to European Ombudsman over Ireland’s adherence to GDPR via IrishTimesBiz
Based on a complaint from the Irish Council for Civil Liberties , ombudsman Emily O’Reilly’s report found Irish DPC practices were “appropriate and in line with good administration”, but proposed further technical improvements.
While the DPC’s regular reports to European colleagues are seen by the commission, thanks to its EDPB observer statues, the ICCL says the commission has logged just four cases of direct communication between it and Ireland’s DPC since GDPR came into effect: in October and December 2021 and April and June last year.
Last year European commissioner for justice Didier Reynders defended Ireland’s DPC from criticism by other EU member states, telling MEPs in January 2022 that the Irish regulator was correct to proceed cautiously in the “complex matter” of its Facebook investigation. During a conversation with Minister for Justice Helen McEntee in December 2021, among Mr Reynders’s talking points was that it was “essential that DPC pursue its efforts and deliver on these cases given their relevance for the credibility of GDPR”.
