Public Affairs Ireland host a range of courses designed for legal and Public Sector professionals. We are committed to keeping those with regulatory responsibilities up to date on legislative changes, so that they can effectively deliver their services to the Public. This month PAI  hosted a variety of legal events which included ….

Certificate in Corporate Governance: 

On the 10 and 11 September, PAI hosted a certificate course in Corporate Governance. This course provided professionals with a refresher on developments in Corporate Governance and how the principles of it can be applied to Public Sector organisations. The course was well received by our participants:

“ Fantastic, a must do for people working in Corporate Governance” Sharon, Department of Housing

GDPR Essentials:

As GDPR is now fully underway, it is more important than ever that everyone within the Public Sector has a strong understanding of what these regulations require. PAI’s three-day course in GDPR essentials introduces attendees to the core concepts, principles and key requirements of GDPR. We have decided to run our course over a three-day period to allow for a more interactive approach, providing time for group exercises, discussion of case studies and the development of practical skills.

Do you need a deeper understanding of GDPR? Join PAI this November for our GDPR Advanced course.

Level 2: GDPR Advanced

GDPR & the Data Protection Directive For Law Enforcement Bodies:  

While having an understanding of GDPR is an essential tool for all professionals, it is particularly important for Law Enforcement Bodies. As we all know, non-compliance with GDPR is penalised, meaning Law Enforcement Bodies need to be updated with these rules and regulations. Samples of organisations that this course is suitable for include:

  • An Garda Siochana
  • The Defence Forces
  • Revenue Commissioners (investigations section)
  • Department of Social Protection (Investigations section)
  • Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
  • Local Authorities (litter wardens, planning enforcement etc.)
  • Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement
  • The Data Protection Commission

Certificate in Policy Development, Legislative Drafting and Delivery:

Policy Development is an essential Public Sector Skill. This course provided participants with knowledge in the areas of policy development, legislative drafting and legislative processing. Most importantly delegates gained skills to draw up effective and accessible legislation.
