The Origins Tracing Service is for individuals who spent all or part of their childhood in an Irish industrial school and are interested in tracing information about their parents, siblings or other relatives.

The service, which is operated by Barnardos, is available free of charge to people in Ireland and abroad. My Department has fully funded the service since 2002.
