I move amendment No. 23:

In page 22, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following:“Amendment of section 58 of Principal Act
27. The Principal Act is amended by inserting the following new section:
“58B.A child who has been adopted under the provisions of the Adoption Acts shall continue to be entitled to have access to his previous parents or guardians, or relevant non guardians, prior to the adoption, should the child so wish, and provided that this is in the best interests of the child.”.”.
