sorry, but the Irish DPA is bought. Even with a low budget she could have at least start investigations, instead nothing. The GDPR will be revised this year (I believe), the corrupted Irish DPA and the OneStopShop approach is the main issue. Other DPA‘s are furious btw.

> she could have at least start investigations, instead nothing

She's started plenty* of investigations but:

(a) for large cases, the legal resources of the defendant have to be considered and a case has to be viable. Building these cases takes time

(b) even for smaller cases, actual court procedures take (too much) time, so the cases she has taken are largely still in train

* A good portion of those cases appear to be directly against the Irish state, rather than any private corporation
