Senator Bacik raised the issue of cervical cancer and the importance of the need for transparency, and I agree with her. That is why the Scally inquiry was set up and we will get to the truth and get the full facts in regard to the events that took place.

The overriding concern of the Government is that we establish the full facts, hold people to account and put in place a system whereby there will be greater transparency and support offered to the families of the women involved. I fully agree with Senator Bacik. We need to get the full answers.

Senator Joe O'Reilly raised the extension of local link and welcomed the pilot scheme. It is an important scheme and lifeline for rural Ireland. I am sure the incentivisation of publicans will be fraught with contention, but the important point is that a pilot scheme is being established to offer a lifeline to people in rural Ireland. The Senator is correct. We must ensure that people in Bailieborough, Reenascreena or Belmullet have the same type of connectivity as those living on a Luas line. I fully subscribe to that point.

Senator Gallagher raised the issue of the GDPR and schools. I draw the attention of the Senator to www.dataprotectionschools.ie which is a portal for schools and has a specific section on data protection. I draw his attention to circular 0829/2018 which has a specific reference to GDPR.

The Leader does not need to draw my attention to that. The Leader needs to draw the attention of school principals. I am only-----

I do not know whether the Senator wants to hear good news or bad news.

I want the facts.

They are the facts. Go and check them.

Is the Leader telling me that the school principals who phoned me are deluding themselves?

I ask the Senator to do me the courtesy of checking www.dataprotectionschools.ie.

Does the Leader mind if I get school principals to contact him?

By all means. I will refer them to the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, or Senator Reilly and we can give them the information.

If someone can give them a proper answer I do not care who the Senator refers them to.

The Senator can check the specific section on his phone.

That is not what they were told. They received no correspondence whatsoever. I am only telling the Senator what I-----

The important point which should not be lost in our back-and-forth exchange is that there is a need for compliance and information. There were workshops and Catholic schools' principals had a meeting recently.

They had, but the Department did not. That is my point.

Whatever is going on today must be the result of a bit of sunshine. I include the Leader in this. Answer the questions raised. If you are not happy do not encourage-----

Hear, hear.

Be a bit more gentle.

I will be a bit more gentle. The Cathaoirleach is right. It is important that the fake news being propagated is not disseminated across the county. That was called other things before.

Senator Gallagher and others raised the matters in good faith. If the Leader does not agree with them, he should say so.

I am responding in good faith. I am giving them the correct information. I cannot-----

I am only passing on what schools have contacted me about.

You have made your point and the Leader has made his, so we can move on.

Refer them to www.dataprotectionschools.ie and circular 0829/2018.

Perhaps it would have been an idea for the Department to refer to that.
