Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy

Issues relating to International Surrogacy Arrangements and Achieving Parental Recognition: Discussion

Dr. Lydia Bracken:

Exactly, because we also need to recognise there are many Irish people or other people who live in other countries and engage in surrogacy in the country they are living in at the time. If they want to come back to Ireland for a holiday or move home permanently they should not be disadvantaged based on where they were living at the time if surrogacy was legal and lawful in that country and they availed of that process. That is why it needs to be done on a case-by-case basis as opposed to having lists. That is my personal view on that.
