About dataprotection.ie

The Data Protection Commission (DPC) is the national independent authority in Ireland responsible for protecting personal data under the GDPR. Its functions also cover the Irish ePrivacy Regulations (2011), the Law Enforcement Directive, and certain powers under the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.

It serves individuals who want to exercise their data protection rights or report a possible infringement, and organisations acting as data controllers or processors that need guidance or must report breaches. Its work includes examining complaints, conducting inquiries and enforcement, publishing guidance, and acting as lead supervisory authority at EU level for organisations with their main EU establishment in Ireland.

The DPC was established under the Data Protection Act 2018, which took effect on 25 May 2018. Its Commissioners include Dr. Des Hogan and Dale Sunderland, appointed in February 2024, and Niamh Sweeney, appointed in September 2025. Recruitment is conducted mainly through Publicjobs, with direct recruitment for specialist roles such as Legal Analyst and Senior Regulatory Lawyer.
