Dr. Fergal Lynch:

No, not at all. What is creating a difficulty at the moment is that in advance of the information and tracing legislation being passed, social workers are finding it difficult to help with existing approaches to information and tracing, which is done through Tusla. One of the issues is the general data protection regulation, GDPR. I am not trying to lay everything at the door of GDPR but with data protection requirements, it is much more difficult for social workers to trace birth mothers and others through the system.
