Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy
Issues relating to International Surrogacy Arrangements and Achieving Parental Recognition: Discussion
Dr. Trevor Redmond:
As regards the models, I do not think we would look at such models. We have a certain role and outward-facing experience but the policy is not with us, so we do not look at the models in that sense. We would defer to others on that.
As regards the experiences we have had to date, we can say from the perspective of our Department that a prearrangement process that brings legal certainty would be a benefit to us. That is just from the perspective of our Department; it is not to say it should be the policy. It is just one factor the committee may wish to bear in mind.
