As bad as this sounds, and I do agree with the author that appointing an ex-Meta exec to the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) position, is ridiculous. I think it would be fair to also say that the agreement she signed would be unenforceable in Europe. In fact, the author even admits it is unenforceable in the US
> The clauses in Wynn-Williams contract are very similar (if not identical) to the clauses that the US National Labor Relations Board ruled unenforceable
It is definitely still a concern that she (potentially) has stock options in the company, since she will be unwilling to make any decision that could adversely affect her nest egg.

Ireland needs to be treated like the rogue state they are. They're more damaging to the EU than Hungary. 100% of their economic growth is built on parasitism.
