Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-06-01
============================================================

Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

My response will be similar to what I said on amendment No. 74 and relevant amendments. We have examined this matter and feel that the use of "may" rather than "shall" is the appropriate way forward and we do not agree to put an obligation on relevant bodies to search for information that another data controller has. However, they have an obligation under section 63 to assist relevant persons and advise them if there are better places to search for the relevant information.
