COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, April 09, 2018
MOTION NO.6
MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan
That the Chief Executive organises training for Members to help understand the new General Data Protection Regulations which will come into force on the 25th of May next, replacing the existing date protection framework under the EU Data Protection Directive.
REPORT:
The Data Protection Bill is currently going through the Oireachtas with a number of amendments listed. Some of these relate to public representatives and there is uncertainty at the moment as to whether the Elected Members will be regarded as data controllers for the purposes of the GDPR.
Based on this information it maybe premature to arrange training at this time but once there is clarification any training required will be arranged.
