Last night I attended the launch of Privacy & Data Protection Law in Ireland, 2nd Edition by Denis Kelleher which was launched by launched by Patrick Honohan, the Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland. The first edition was published in 2006 and Denis remarked that a lot has happened since then. Denis is right a lot has happened since 2006, as we have seen the rapid growth of the internet, like big data, social networking and a whole variety of smart phone apps that are built to process personal data.
