Clare Daly (Dublin Fingal, Independent) | Oireachtas source

The Minister is aware that Saint Patrick's Guild Adoption Agency ceased to operate three years ago. The transfer of files, which we were told would take between one year and 18 months, has actually taken three years. For the record, will the Minister clarify why this has taken so long? Did the issue of indemnity arise as it did when the Bessborough files were transferred? Will a full audit of the 13,500 Saint Patrick's Guild files be carried out and will the Minister indicate a proposed timeframe for that process so people can have access to the information on their files?
