Edel McGinley

Levels of “institutional racism and discrimination” in the health service led to a serious data breach when employers were told of coronavirus test results before meat factory workers who were tested, it has been claimed.

Edel McGinley, director of the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland (MRCI), described the practice as a “gross and serious breach of confidentiality”.
