In its submission, the Adoption Authority wrote:

Can birth parents apply to get their children’s birth and adoption records? Could this be included in proposed legislation? The Authority believes that consideration needs to be given on the implications of releasing personal information, for example, a person named as birth father on record which later proves to be incorrect.

What is informing that point? What exactly is Ms Traynor saying there? What is her concern, in plain language?
