Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 32:

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

"(7) A person or couple who prior to the commencement of this part completed an intercountry adoption effected outside the State may notwithstanding this Act effect another such adoption within 5 years of the former adoption from the same State having first obtained a declaration of suitability in accordance with this Act and such adoption may be recognised as if effected under the law applicable prior to the coming into operation of this Act.".
