Ms Joan McDermott:

Yes. Therefore, here you have a man who is now in his 50s, with a name given to him that is not his at all, and an inappropriate - like the previous speaker, I do not know what word to use . What do I say he is? Is he illegally adopted? I do not know.

Getting back to my original question, while there is provision in the Bill for the correction of the birth registration at the General Register Office, GRO, will the committee look favourably or speak with the Minister in the future about this? Under subject access requests, more and more people are receiving files and they are shocking. The information in them is shocking. It is a very big issue in a person's life to ask, "Am I adopted or am I not if I am on the register as I am but my mother did not sign the signature?" I will tell the Senator that my signatures were forged.
