A key question for #DataProtection watchers in Ireland today is: “How much did @DPCIreland actually get? (And how much did they look for?)”
We have had nearly 5 years of appreciable upping of DPC budget from €1.5M in 2014 to the present €15.2M. 1/n2/n But the office is still under manned and regularly outgunned even though it is de facto regulator for much of world’s personal data. Also, comparing to the Financial Regulator pre-crash, @DPCIreland is still less than 30% the resource levels that were keeping an eye on banks

Finding #1. Looking at it, the only changes I see in the final report are in sentence structure, detailed citation of background documentation. Substantively this finding is unchanged. It's worded differently (and more forensically).
Finding #2: Again, there is a claim of substantial changes made by the Dept. Reading this, the change I see is inclusion of more detail and a clearer enumeration of the logical analysis that was undertaken. The actual conclusion is unchanged.

A general comment: DEASP are making a great deal of noise about their survey on #PSC. It's mad popular they tell us.
So is not paying taxes. We'd all love not to do that. But if you decide not to pay taxes, no matter how popular that is, Revenue have words. Popular != Legal.
Page 5: Cites some of the history of the card. That's nice. However, the debate (as @ciananbrennan has pointed out) the dail record of the debate is worth reading bit.ly/2LY9F8o
And what the history ignores is that #DataProtection law has evolved since 1998.
