A charity that works with men who have behaved violently in the home has been censured by the Data Protection Commission after video recordings of counselling sessions involving up to 120 men went missing.

MOVE (Men Overcoming Violence) Ireland made a mandatory report regarding the data breach to the DPC in February of 2020 after 18 portable SD cards suspected of containing recordings of men discussing their “behaviour and attitudes with regard to domestic violence” went missing.
