Ireland has added to a decade of national legal stumbles in this extremely important and increasingly topical area of digital protection. It is to Ireland’s continuing shame and international embarrassment that the State remains so inept in implementing and enforcing data protection laws, especially when Ireland carries regulatory responsibility for the world’s most powerful data-gathering multinationals.
Inept or corrupt?
This government is pro-business anti-people. They have a history of this shenanigans.
For example for years they have been refusing to collect the tax that Google owes them. They have some kind of a secret deal, that everyone pays tax except Google. This is illegal. The EU is fining ROI for it. But they continue to do it.
We don’t know what other secret deals exist between the ministers and the other big data-laundering businesses.
