Adam Keogh, now aged 22, say intrusion was ‘horrific’, with Data Protection Commission ruling it was ‘unlawful’
The dossier was compiled after the family of Adam Keogh, then aged five, took a legal action alongside several other families against the State to secure special needs education for their children.
Without telling the families or requesting consent, the Department of Health asked the HSE to share what it had on file on the dormant cases, including medical notes. “It’s impossible to get speech and language, physiotherapy, all those things. You have to fight for everything.Tony Delaney, deputy data protection commissioner, said: “Our decision says unlawful things happened from a data protection perspective. They broke the law, they’ve been penalised for it, they’ve been reprimanded for it”.
“I saw something that frankly I can only describe as shocking ... There was no way once I saw the piece of correspondence, I was ever going to let that lie,” he said.
