I would like to raise something with the Minister that was prompted by Senator Seery Kearney's comments. When I was talking about how the GDPR restricts the Bill, I did not mean in relation to the mother's right to object but in relation to people being able to access their care information and information about their siblings. Given we all acknowledge that the GDPR does apply and that the European laws supersede the Irish ones, can this Bill actually restrict people's right to their care information and information about their siblings?
