GDPR and how it affects your company data
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force this year on 25 May. This
legislation will be a game changer in terms of how organisations must manage and process
data, not least because of the scope of GDPR, but also the sizeable fines it will introduce. GDPR
requires companies, public bodies and other organisations to proactively ensure their privacy.
Local Enterprise Week is one of the best opportunities for entrepreneurs to take stock of their
business, learn from experts and identify ways to move their company forward. A whole host of
other events, many of them free, are on offer as part of Local Enterprise Week dlr. So if you are a
young entrepreneur or you are already seasoned in business, the week offers you new learning
and networking opportunities not to be missed.

Estate Improvements
Shaping a Better Future For Our County and All Our Communties
Tourism for All
Many tourists have some kind of access need, and if a business or a destination does not
cater for these, the upshot is that they will go elsewhere.
dlr is one of the first Local Authorities in Ireland to set its sights on growing the accessible
tourism market this year and beyond. The core aim is to make the county and its attractions
accessible for tourists of all ages and abilities.
This project is being driven by An Cathaoirleach, Cllr. Tom Murphy who has said “Good access
in facilities, products, and services is not only of benefit to visitors but it’s also necessary for
all our citizens. We need to bring everyone into this discussion, our public bodies, private
businesses, tourism service providers, institutions, associations, community groups and the
general public in developing Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown as a destination for all”.
In implementing this project, Director of Service Mary T Daly highlighted the need for an
organisational approach to this topic. She has facilitated an inter departmental programme
of accessible tourism training in dlr. The Council is also in the process of completing a pilot
accessibility audit of the main tourist access points in the area.
On 26 April, dlr will host a tourism conference which will bring together local, national and
international organisations who will use real case studies to highlight how accessibility and
inclusion as quality factors in tourism can have a positive economic impact.
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown as a county has a lot to offer with our wonderful natural assets of
the mountains and the sea. We need to have a conversation about how we can improve our
offering as a tourist destination, with a focus on delivering tourism for all.

Fernhill Park will be a unique public amenity, not only for the residents of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown
