Large-scale inquiries progress as Irish DPA’s budget and staff numbers ramp up
In 2021, the DPC’s budget increased to €19.1 million with a further increase of €23.2 million in 2022. The DPC continues to increase its workforce with numbers raising from 145 to 190 this year and has indicated that a further 70 staff members will be recruited during 2022.
The DPC’s Annual Report indicates that the DPC will continue to monitor and enforce compliance particularly in relation to data transfers and the processing of children’s data. Significant fines issued this year have indeed made headlines; however, the Annual Report emphasises the DPC’s data subject centric approach to complaint resolution, and its handling of own volition inquiries.
