Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. All of us in this House, when we voted for and supported GDPR, the new European law on personal data, understood it would mean that people would have access to their personal information, that it would be protected and that it would be corrected where it was wrong. The law on people who have been adopted, both legally and illegally, has been interpreted in a different way. In fairness to Tusla, it is just following the law as it understands it so the responsibility falls on the Government and Oireachtas to resolve this. I am aware that the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Deputy O'Gorman, is committed to doing exactly that.
