The administration of the system of civil registration in the State is the responsibility of an tÁrd Chlaraitheoir (Registrar General). I have made enquiries of the Registrar General and he informs me that six individuals have applied to have new birth certificates issued to them, since the judgment referred to by the Deputy.
