General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Simon McGarr:
That right is available through the GDPR. If the legislation is passed, it may only be read in compliance with the GDPR. If this is available under the GDPR and this legislation, it was available under the GDPR alone. There is no additional benefit in passing a restricted right when a general right already exists.
