Data Protection Act, 1988 12 of 50 https://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1988/act/25/enacted/en/print.html?printonload=true Provided that, where the circumstances are such that it would be reasonable for the data controller to conclude that, if any particulars identifying that other individual were omitted, the data could then be disclosed as aforesaid without his being thereby identified to the data subject, the data controller shall be obliged to disclose the data to the data subject with the omission of those particulars. (5) Information supplied pursuant to a request under subsection (1) of this section may take account of any amendment of the personal data concerned made since the receipt of the request by the data controller (being an amendment that would have been made irrespective of the receipt of the request) but not of any other amendment. (6) (a) A request by an individual under subsection (1) of this section in relation to the results of an examination at which he was a candidate shall be deemed, for the purposes of this section, to be made on— (i) the date of the first publication of the results of the examination, or (ii) the date of the request, whichever is the later; and paragraph (a) of the said subsection (1) shall be construed and have effect in relation to such a request as if for “40 days” there were substituted “60 days”. (b) In this subsection “examination” means any process for determining the knowledge, intelligence, skill or ability of a person by reference to his performance in any test, work or other activity. (7) A notification of a refusal of a request made by an individual under and in compliance with the preceding provisions of this section shall be in writing and shall include a statement of the reasons for the refusal and an indication that the individual may complain to the Commissioner about the refusal. (8) (a) If and whenever the Minister considers it desirable in the interests of data subjects to do so and by regulations so declares, the application of this section to personal data— (i) relating to physical or mental health, or (ii) kept for, or obtained in the course of, carrying out social work by a Minister of the Government, a local authority, a health board or a specified voluntary organisation or other body, may be modified by the regulations in such manner, in such circumstances, subject to such safeguards and to such extent as may be specified therein. 21.02.23, 18:36
