Interpretation Bill 2000: Committee Stage.
4:00 am
Michael Kitt (Fianna Fail)
This is a technical amendment. The final phrase in this paragraph, "whose adoption is recognised by virtue of the law for the time being in force in the State" can logically only refer to a child adopted outside the State. Adoptions under our Adoption Acts are automatically recognised by the State. This amendment ensures that the final phrase refers only to foreign adoptions recognised by the State.
