Dr Johnny Ryan, a senior fellow at the ICCL, will say in his opening statement to the committee that a “systematic infringement of fundamental rights go unchecked by the DPC”. It said the DPC is “still under-staffed” to deal with its task at hand. The submission said there are “certain pinch-points” in its operation such as lengthy resolutions for cases.

Solicitor Fred Logue, who works for a firm specialising in data protection and information law, also put forward a submission.He has raised questions about the complaints procedures and has recommended that all records held for or by the DPC should be subject to the rights of access under the 2014 Freedom of Information Act.Dixon had previously refused to attend a European Parliament committee meeting if it meant answering questions alongside Schrems.
