An emailed response from Mr Varadkar four days later was heavily redacted by FOI Act censors at the Department of the Taoiseach, but refers to an “interesting” conversation the pair had in Davos.A follow-up response from Ms Sandberg on February 1st, 2018 was also heavily redacted. On the night of April 4th, 2018, Ms Sweeney sent the Taoiseach a detailed email informing him that almost 45,000 Facebook users in Ireland may have had their personal data compromised in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and outlined the steps the company had taken to prevent it happening again.

“This represents 0.0516 per cent of the total number of people affected but any number is too many,” she wrote. She concluded her email telling Mr Varadkar: “We would welcome your feedback on the steps we’ve announced so far and any suggestions you have on what more we should be doing.”
