GDPR is sometimes put up as a block to Teachtaí in respect of certain agencies which are subsets of Departments. It is sometimes misapplied, and I do not want that to happen in this case. The Minister is again telling us that the coronial process is being disapplied in two out of three criteria, if I understood him correctly. I may be mishearing the Minister, but he appears now to be saying that the coronial process is being completely disapplied. My hearing could be at fault or I might be misinterpreting the Minister. If I am, I will stand corrected. However, there needs to be clarity in this regard, because I am a little more confused after the Minister's last intervention than I was before. I ask the Minister to forgive me if I am wrong.
