Harris says there is a 'real risk' patient data will leak tomorrow

If you feel someone is trying to defraud you, following the hacking of the HSE, the advice from the government is to immediately contact gardaí.

There is a "real risk" that patient data will be released tomorrow, Simon Harris has said.

The Minister for Further and Higher Education said "there's some evidence that it may already have happened in some instances and that's been verified by the gardaí".
