I agree with what the Minister said earlier that adopted people have been historically failed by the State over the years in their right to find their identity. Deputy Bacik asked a question earlier, which I do not think was answered. What happens if somebody cannot take part in this information session for either mental, physical or personal reasons? He or she will lose his or her right to this identity again. That is the point I wanted to make. I call on the Minister to reconsider this again.
