General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)
Mary Seery Kearney (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
It is our absolute desire that individuals have access to all of their birth information, to their identities and to identifying information. That is everyone's objective but in that there is obviously the person who gave birth and the person who has an entitlement to information. When we look at the other rights under the GDPR, not the subject access right but the right of restriction, can the birth mother restrict the right of access in the absence of this legislation?
