Birth family tracing legislation
Deputy Joan Burton asked when legislation allowing adopted people to trace birth families would be brought forward. The Taoiseach said it was well advanced, on the priority list, and would be processed as quickly as possible.
When does the Government propose to bring forward the legislation relating to the right of people who have been adopted in Ireland to trace their birth families, which was published during the term of the previous Government? The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs indicated at the start of this Government's term that she would soon do so. What progress, if any, has been made on it?
