Adoption Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
4:00 pm
Frances Fitzgerald (Fine Gael)

What would the next step be? I do not refer particularly to Vietnam. Given that this legislation is to give effect to the Hague Convention and that we will also have bilateral agreements, if a bilateral agreement was not concluded, what would happen then?
