Sinn Féin welcomes this Bill. Ensuring the right to be forgotten is essential for people who have overcome cancer. For people who face a diagnosis of that kind, and we all know somebody who has, purchasing a home will not be the first thing on their minds but shelter and owning your home is so important to recovery and the quicker we realise the difficulties people are facing - the battle with can…
