I welcome the amendment. As Deputy Funchion said, it reflects the discussion we had on Committee Stage to ensure the Bill will be as inclusive as possible. I very much welcome the fact that, as the Minister said, this provision will ensure that persons who were the subject of what he described as more informal adoption arrangements, in particular those effected outside of the State, will be covered by the Bill. It is welcome and I thank him for that.
