Civil registration legislation

Summary

Ray Butler asks when legislation covering civil registration matters will be published; the Taoiseach says its heads were approved in July and publication is expected early next year.

When is it expected to publish the civil registration (amendment) Bill to amend the Civil Registration Act 2004, following a review of its operations, including provision of the compulsory registration of fathers' names on birth certificates, validation of embassy marriages, civil partnerships, the prevention of marriages of convenience and the registration of deaths of Irish people who die abroad.
