Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy

Surrogacy in Ireland and in Irish and International Law: Discussion

Mr. Karl Duff:

I will come in on Mr. O'Connor's point on the international piece. The special rapporteur has commented that one of the challenges in that space is that there is not a consensus across borders or countries. While the Hague Convention has worked well on inter-country adoption, it is more challenging in the surrogacy space where there is not a consensus on how to approach surrogacy across borders. That is the real challenge in being able to establish a convention or an international agreement.
