Data protection law

The Data Protection Act 2018 was implemented to create a new legal framework for data protection laws in Ireland. For example it will:

• give further effect to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)) where required
• give effect to Directive (EU) 2016/680 (Law Enforcement Directive)
• replace Directive 95/46/EC 
• establish the Data Protection Commission.
