On Friday, 28th January, the Data Protection Commissioner has begun an investigation into the theft of laptops from the Revenue Commissioners in Dublin.
Three men walked in to an office block at Ashtown Gate on the Navan Road last night and stole ten laptops.
The Revenue Commissioners are still trying to determine if anything else was stolen, but a spokesman said all of its laptops are encrypted.
The commissioner is seeking to establish what type of data was on the laptops and how sensitive it was.
