Tom Parlon: ..., Equality and Law Reform and his concern about oversight under the legislation. The High Court, not the Minister, will have the oversight role.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy: Surrogacy in Ireland and in Irish and International Law: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Apr 2022)

...litigation concerning adoption in surrogacy, which I am involved in. I cannot, therefore, make any comments broadly about that. What I will say in terms of the European Court of Human Rights, ECHR, case law is that the ECHR said the mother has to be recognised and that can be done via adoption. I suppose, therefore, that is relevant in terms of international obligations.

I assume there is a similar provision setting up the commission in the North. The members of...
