Twelfth Annual Report of the Data Protection Commissioner 2000 published on 01 August 2001 I am pleased to present this twelfth Annual Report in relation to the work of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner since it was established in 1989. I was appointed Data Protection Commissioner in September 2000 and accordingly this annual report for 2000 also refers to matters considered by my predecessor, Mr Fergus Glavey, whose seven year term as Commissioner then concluded. I am happy to record that the work undertaken both by Mr Glavey and the first Commissioner, Mr Donal Lenihan, has enabled this office to work in a co-operative and effective manner and I intend to carry on that tradition. |
