The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) has requested an additional €4 million to finance the recruitment of suitably qualified personnel in legal and technology sectors, particularly concerning artificial intelligence (AI). The DPC highlighted a growing expectation from fellow EU data protection authorities (DPAs) and other stakeholders for more effective and timely enforcement. The requested funding is expected to help make progress in clearing large-scale cross-border inquiries and accommodate an increasing caseload, allowing the DPC to manage its responsibilities better. Furthermore, the DPC said the extra resources would be critical in addressing the rise in legal challenges against its decisions in Irish and European courts.
