A chara, - Last February the Data Protection Commissioner ruled that the Department of Education contravened Section 2 of the Data Protection Act 1988. This was the result of the Department using personal data to identify ASTI members. The Department decided to appeal the decision to the Circuit Court but has now withdrawn the appeal. I now call on Dr Woods to issue a public apology to our members. - Is mise,
