Data Protection Commission

The Data Protection Commission is the independent national authority that upholds the right to data protection by enforcing data protection law and monitoring compliance with it. It succeeded the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.

The Commission came into being on 25 May 2018 under the Data Protection Act 2018. The long title of that Act is to establish An Coimisiún um Chosaint Sonraí, the Data Protection Commission, to give further effect to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, and to give effect to Directive (EU) 2016/680.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
