The full implementation of the Civil Registration Act 2014, including the implementation of the provisions to counter marriages of convenience; the compulsory registration of fathers names on birth registrations and other changes have been delayed following industrial action by HSE employed Registrars. An IR process is underway to resolve matters and the provisions in relation to sham marriages are being implemented.
