The Irish Data Protection Commission has issued €3.26 billion in fines, but only €19.9 million has been collected due to appeals.

The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) has issued €3.26 billion in fines to tech companies over the past five years, but only €19.9 million has been collected, or 0.6% of the total.
