I move amendment No. 104:

In page 45, to delete lines 10 to 14 and substitute the following: “(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), a preference of a person in relation to contact with any other person that is recorded in the National Adoption Contact Preference Register, shall not be deemed to be, and shall not be recorded in the entry in the register where that person has not personally indicated a preference.”.

Amendment No. 104 provides that, with regard to the transfer of the national adoption contact preference register, where a person has not indicated a preference for the contact it should not be assumed the person has a preference for no contact.
