Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

The general data protection regulation, GDPR, seems to be cropping up with increased frequency in public administration, most recently in the context of the debate on the report of the commission on mother and baby homes. It has also arisen in regard to the processing of medical cards. There appears to be an urgent need for a definition of precisely what falls within the scope of this regulation. Will the Tánaiste ensure that this be considered as a matter of urgency?
