I move amendment No. 31:

In page 25, between lines 13 and 14, to insert the following:

"(7) In exercising its functions in relation to recognition of an adoption effected outside the State, the Authority shall insofar as possible recognise an adoption effected outside the State by a person who was ordinarily resident in the jurisdiction in which the adoption was effected at the time it was effected.".

See this speech in context
