- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: Can the Minister expand on that? What will it do?
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: I understand the need for the immediacy of this and the question of a different agency for information that is not Tusla. The aim is not to slow the process for people getting information, and this is something we have discussed at great length in the committee. When witnesses came before the committee we heard that people were not just traumatised by interactions with Tusla but really...
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: I move amendment No. 272: In page 35, to delete line 15. These interactions are an unnecessary breach of the relevant persons' privacy. The inclusion of church representatives in section 34(6) is particularly egregious considering that the Bill fails to name religious orders for other entities as data controllers. Moreover, it does not seem to have occurred to the Minister or the...
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: If that is the case, could the organisations in question be named as data controllers as well? The Minister is acknowledging how much relevant and important information they have but they have not been included as data controllers. Has consideration been given to the fact that the tracing services could be engaging with people in the religious orders who were potentially involved with...
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: I understand that. Given the possibility that members of those churches may have been involved in previous illegal or legal adoptions, would it not be better to seize records for these purposes rather than requesting them from these organisations?
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: Should we not designate all of them in that case?
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: My apologies.
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: It seems confusing to expect an organisation to potentially incriminate itself by passing on information that it does not have to provide. We will discuss this matter further on Report Stage.
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: I move amendment No. 273: In page 35, to delete line 16.
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: I move amendment No. 276: In page 35, line 26, after "Minister" to insert ", in consultation with the Adoption Advisory Group,".
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: Amendments Nos. 311, 324 and 331 provide absolute clarity that individuals' GDPR rights will not be limited by these sections. Given the very restrictive interpretation of GDPR rights by Departments and State bodies, it is necessary to clearly state that these sections do not interfere with GDPR. Amendment No. 312 ensures that all relevant records will be transferred to the national...
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: I move amendment No. 332: In page 54, line 2, to delete “insofar as practicable” and substitute “make every effort to”. This amendment advises the agency or the authority to make "every effort" to offer assistance and support, rather than just as far "as practicable". People feel it is staggering, after everything we know, that the lesser category of...
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: I move amendment No. 350: In page 7, line 5, to delete "further and better".
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: I move amendment No. 351: In page 7, line 5, after "to" where it secondly occurs to insert "their personal data and".
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: I move amendment No. 354: In page 7, line 9, to delete ", where such persons are deceased,".
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: I also must go to the Chamber shortly to speak. It is quite telling that with the exception of Deputy Pringle, the only people here really speaking on the amendments are women and now we are all going to speak on International Women's Day so it is bad timing in terms of the schedule. I think the Chairman and everybody else is really aware of the highly contested issue around mandatory...
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: I would like to come in on a couple of things the Minister said, including that this could be a constitutional problem. I do not think that anyone for a second believes we would have to change the Constitution to allow people to exercise a right they ultimately should and do already have. We had that conversation around the general data protection regulation, GDPR, and law. There is a...
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: That is 99 people. What percentage of people? That is not parents; that is relatives.
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)
Holly Cairns: It is not specific to parents, which is the point I was making. We heard at committee that there are more adopted people who want to exercise their right to privacy rather than their right to information than there are parents. All we hear from the Government, and now again from the Minister, is the parent's right to privacy. There are more children, many of whom are now adults, obviously,...

Holly Cairns: And to their parents
