Ms Edel McGinley:

Dr. Tony Holohan himself confirmed that it was a breach of confidentiality and that it did not trump a person's right to privacy or to have personal data protected. That is fundamental. Health data are considered to be one of the gold standards under data protection. It is really important. As we said before, there was no problem as long as workers were informed. If there is a secondary layer to protect public health, then that is fine but that is not what it is.

To be quite honest, I am still not clear on what it is.
