I move amendment No. 58:

In page 47, line 2, to delete “and”.

I will discuss amendments Nos. 58 to 60, inclusive, together. While the Bill provides for an appeal to an adjudicator against the finding that on the balance of probabilities the genetic and non-genetic data available are not sufficient to suggest a familial link, there is currently no provision that requires a director to inform a person that he or she may appeal this finding. These amendments provide that a director is required to inform a person of his or her right to appeal when issuing such a finding.
