The Oireachtas Justice Committee has written to European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen to raise concerns over plans to reform key data protection laws.

Proposals to reform the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came in mid-2023, with the European Commission seeking to deal with issues related to ‘cross-border’ investigations into data protection breaches.
