Adoption Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
11:00 am
Frances Fitzgerald (Fine Gael)
We had some discussion on this earlier. Basically, a number of criteria in the Bill regard the mother or guardian as to the effect of adoption and this is an amendment to ensure the woman has been fully counselled. At this stage there has been some debate on this and I would like to hear the Minister of State's response as to whether he would consider inserting this provision.
