I am advised by Tusla – The Child and Family Agency that they received over 13,600 records from St Patrick's guild in May 2016. Tusla initially began addressing the waiting list of clients it received from the guild and in September 2016 began to address new referrals related to the guild records.

Tusla offers a full information and tracing service and those who wish to avail of the service should contact their local Tusla National Adoption Services.
