asked the Minister for Justice if he will now introduce proposals for legislation legalising the adoption of children and permitting the children to take the surname of the adopter.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Adoption of Children.
This matter is still under consideration and I am not at present in a position to introduce proposals for legislation.
Has the Minister any idea as to when this matter will be under active consideration?
The Minister has had it under active consideration for a long time and the Deputy is trying to steal Deputy Byrne's thunder.
