Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

General Scheme of Adoption (Information and Tracing) Bill 2015: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Helen Gilmartin:

I do not know. It seems bizarre. Why dismiss all the work that was done in establishing the original NACPR and all the people who put their names down, comprising 11,500 entries? I would have thought it was a fait accompli. Whatever about getting in touch with people and asking them whether they want to update it, unless they have stated that they do not want contact since that original entry, it should be assumed that what they submitted in the first place should stand.
