I hope I can provide some clarification here. Section 29 solely relates to the archive of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes. As the Deputy will be aware, in the database legislation from 2020, we preserved that archive and ensured it was not deleted. We also sent a copy of it to Tusla and that archive copy resides with Tusla only, not the Adoption Authority of Ireland. As this section only refers to information contained in the archive, there is no need to make reference to the AAI, which does not have a copy of the archive. Tusla has the copy. For information in respect of other parts, the AAI is also referenced.
