The European Commission has defended its monitoring of data protection rules in Ireland.

The Commission was replying to a request for more information from the EU Ombudsman Emily O’Reilly.

She launched an investigation in February following a complaint to her office from Dr Johnny Ryan, a senior fellow at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties.

He had expressed concerns about the Commission’s monitoring of Ireland’s application of data protection rules.
