The office of the Data Protection Commissioner is examining a data breach at dairy processor Tirlán, concerning the private data of farmers being sent to incorrect recipients.

Tirlán has apologised to its milk suppliers over the issue which occurred when monthly milk statements for August were sent to suppliers.

A significant number of those statements, which are issued by a third-party company, contained data not belonging to the recipients.
