I congratulate my colleague, Deputy Ardagh, on introducing this critical and important legislation on the right to be forgotten. I wish it was passed in the last Dáil but here we are today to ask the Government to bring this forward. It will deliver equality in financial products for those who go through cancer and survive it. More than 220,000 people in this country have survived or are living with cancer. Unfortunately, today's laws are prejudiced against them. Cancer survivors can be prejudiced against and not get health insurance or mortgages. This is unacceptable and we have the ability to clear that up. We need to stand up for cancer survivors and protect them to ensure they can get access to financial products.
