MEPs rue lack of GDPR sanctions issued by Irish data authority
MEPs have said that “a lack of political will and resources” had resulted in a laggard approach to enforcement of the EU’s general data protection regulation (GDPR), singling out in particular the lack of sanctions dished out by the Irish data protection authority.
To date, the Irish DPC has issued six fines for GDPR breaches. These include three against Tusla, the country’s Child and Family Agency, a €65,000 penalty issued against Cork University Maternity Hospital, a €70,000 fine for University College Dublin, and, in the first fine for a cross-border case, a €450,000 charged levied against Twitter for falling short of data breach notification obligations.
