The 2007 International Privacy Ranking
Ireland scores a pretty poor 2.5 out of 5. Barely a passing grade. Which seems to make it one of the better places to live as far as privacy is concerned. I suspect that at least part of this (such as information sharing between government departments) is a mixture of incompetance and grudge bearing (as in the head of one department not liking the head of another) rather than any grand design.
The more worrying aspect is the general downward trend, with not a single country improving its privacy standards.
