That it be an instruction to the Committee on the Adoption Bill, 1976, that it has power to make provision in the Bill that a reference in any Act of the Oireachtas passed after the passing of the Bill to a child of a person or persons shall, unless the contrary intention appears, be construed as a reference to a child adopted by the person or persons aforesaid under the Adoption Acts, 1952 to 1976, and that a child so adopted shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Act, to be the child of the person or persons aforesaid born to him or them in lawful wedlock and not to be the child of any other person.
