I fully support what the Deputies have said. It is amazing when you read it because all this information can be accessed from other sources anyway and people have been doing that. To single out adopted people and tell them they must go through this process is completely wrong. I would even have doubts about using a registered letter to them outlining the responsibilities or the fact that the information is there but I think this is really wrong, cannot be contemplated and should not be in this legislation. These people must be the only people in the State singled out and treated differently regarding access to birth certificates, which is completely wrong. I could be wrong but I would like to be proven wrong.
