Dr. Fergal Lynch:

The system is connected with GDPR and the requirements of same and up until now the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection could link in with Tusla's records and compare notes where a Tusla social worker was trying to identify an individual who was a potential birth parent. In the context of GDPR, the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection has concluded that it cannot do that at the moment but the information tracing legislation I referred to will contain a specific provision allowing for that to happen again.
