It said this week that it was inadequate given the DPC’s position “at the front line of global data protection regulation”. The DPC says it had hoped to have 18o staff on the books by the end of this year but that it will have just 148 due to the “highly competitive landscape for specialist skills”. “It is arguable the DPC should be the largest given the unique role of Ireland and the DPC in lead-supervising for the EU the world’s largest tech platforms under the GDPR,” the watchdog argues.

Currently, the DPC still maintains that office but also has two offices in Dublin at temporary locations.In its pre-Budget submission, the DPC says it is “critical” that a permanent base is found in the capital, suggesting that the current facilities are not up to the expectations of major tech firms
