Françoise Meunier, Vice President of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Belgium, and Founder of the European Initiative on Ending Discrimination Against Cancer Survivors, shared a post by CancerWorld on LinkedIn, adding:
“Encouraging to see such meaningful progress on the Right to Be Forgotten in Ireland. Minister Robert Troy’s leadership is helping ensure that cancer survivors are not penalised for their medical history.”
Quoting CancerWorld’s post:
““I wanted to prioritise this because I know the difference. I know the impact that cancer has on families.” — Minister Robert Troy
Behind every major reform is a human story, this one begins with loss, resilience, and a belief that policy should serve people, not systems.
In driving Ireland’s Right To Be Forgotten legislation, Minister Robert Troy is standing up for thousands of cancer survivors who have fought their way back to health, only to be met with financial barriers that limit their future.
This reform will allow survivors to access mortgage protection, build homes, and reclaim the stability that illness once interrupted.
This is what purposeful public service looks like: turning individual stories into national change, and ensuring recovery is not met with discrimination but opportunity.
