While I understand there is a willingness to progress the Adoption (Information and Tracing) Bill 2016, its year of publication indicates that it has been around for some time at this stage. In the meantime, the general directive on data protection has been introduced and people seeking to trace parents tell me the directive is being presented as a further obstacle. They have faced enough challenges in trying to trace people. Will the proposed legislation address this matter and how soon will it be advanced?
