Independent report on illegal birth registration due to Zappone at end of May
Following the St Patrick’s Guild discovery, the Government appointed independent reviewerto conduct a targeted analysis of other adoption records to determine how widespread the practice may have been. The report was due last October .
The review is focussed on a “targeted sample” of about 100,000 adoption records held by State agencies. Tusla could not yet say whether the independent reviewer has found evidence of a more widespread practice of illegal adoption.Meanwhile Ms Zappone is expected to bring her Adoption and Information Tracing Bill back before the Seanad soon.
TDs and lobby groups expressed concerns with a provision which stipulated that adopted people who wanted to get access to their birth information would have to sign an undertaking, in certain circumstances, that they would not contact the birth parent.
