Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

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

9:30 am

Ms Rhoda MacManus:

I would like to absolutely support what Mr. Redmond said. One of the major shortcomings in this Bill is the fact that it uses euphemisms, yet again, such as "wrongful registration", when it is illegal. The false registration of a birth has been illegal and a crime since the 19th century, yet here we are in the 21st century and we are not prepared to state it like it is.
