The Adoption Authority of Ireland is an independent statutory body established under the Adoption Act, 2010. The Authority has responsibility for the operational implementation of enacted legislation and Government policy. As the issue raised by the Deputy is of an operational nature, I have forwarded the request to the Authority for direct attention.
