‹ Order of Business Civil Registration Amendment Bill
Summary
Deputy Fitzpatrick asks when legislation covering birth records, marriages, civil partnerships and deaths abroad will be published; the Taoiseach says it is due early next year.
When can we expect publication of the civil registration (amendment) Bill, the purpose of which is to amend the Civil Registration Act 2004 following a review of its operations? The Bill will make provision for the compulsory registration of fathers' names on birth certificates, validation of embassy marriages and civil partnerships, the prevention of marriages of convenience and the registration of deaths of Irish persons who die abroad.
