John Perry (Sligo-North Leitrim, Fine Gael)

If you listened to the reply I gave it is quite clear. The child is the main focus. I will repeat what I stated:

The AAI and the Department of Children and Youth Affairs became aware in the past two days that the Kazakhstani adoption authorities intend to hold a meeting on this coming Friday with representatives of Kazakhstani Government institutions and diplomatic representatives of foreign embassies and consulates. It is important to state that neither the AAI nor the Irish Embassy were made aware of the meeting by the Kazakhstani authorities.
