The Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI) has responsibility for making entries into the Register of Intercountry Adoptions. The AAI has informed me that the Authority has entered 300 adoptions in the Register of Intercountry Adoptions since 1 November 2010, the date on which the Adoption Act, 2010, commenced and the Adoption Authority of Ireland was established.
