Home / ADPO
ADPO brings together Data Protection Officers from around Ireland and across a range of sectors. As a DPO, this is your space to share ideas, voice concerns, seek clarity on new legislation, and offer your own insights on the demands and challenges of the job.
Participation in ADPO is open to all interested ICS Members, particularly if you fill a data management role in your organisation. Our objective is to provide clarity on issues, raise awareness of legislation, and to offer you a forum where these topics can be discussed.
15th Annual ADPO Conference: GDPR: The age of maturity?
The Age of Innocence is over. GDPR is beyond the half-decade mark, but will the next five years be the Age of Maturity? GDPR, Europe’s flagship data regulation must deliver on its promise, but in an increasingly complex technological and regulatory landscape, nothing is certain.

ADPO Webinar: Unpacking the EDPB’s 2024 Report on the Role of the DPO
In 2023, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) selected ‘the Designation and Position of Data Protection Officers’ for its Coordinated Enforcement Action initiative. The report, published in January 2024, is based on the findings of an extensive EU-wide survey that was responded to by data controllers across all EU Member States. In particular, the report sought to understand the challenges faced by DPOs across Europe, including, insufficient resources allocated to DPOs, insufficient expert knowledge and training of DPOs and risks of conflicts of interests. If you are a DPO and you want to know what DPOs are talking about, this webinar will give you the highlights and key takeaways from this important survey.
