Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Assisted Human Reproduction Bill 2017: Discussion
9:00 am
Ms Geraldine Luddy:
That is already dealt with in the Children and Family Relationships Act. We have prohibited the use of anonymous donation in that Act. There is a transition period of, I think, about three years in the Act. This is really important for the rights of the child and for her to have the opportunity in the future to identify her genetic parents.
