Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2021: Discussion

Ms Orlaith Traynor:

With regard to Senator Ruane's first question about children sent abroad and illegal birth registration, because they were not actual adoptions, the authority does not have any input in those cases. I will hand over to Ms Carey with regard to the records because she is very knowledgeable about that.
