As the subject matter of the Deputy's question relates to an operational matter for Tusla Child and Family Agency, I have referred the matter to them for a direct reply.
Additionally, as the Deputy will be aware, the Birth Information and Tracing Bill was published on the 12th of January 2022. This Bill will now start the journey through the Houses of the Oireachtas and, if enacted, the provisions of the Bill relating to the release of information will be legally effective. The legislation before the Oireachtas would, if enacted, permit full and un-redacted access to important documents like birth certificates and baptismal certificates. Until this happens, all applications must be processed in line with current laws in place.
