Vol. 503 No. 7
99 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children the fees paid to people who are not permanent and pensionable employees of the health boards and who derive their incomes from fees for registrations and for issuing birth, death and marriage certificates. [11133/99]
The administration of the registration system for births, deaths and marriages is primarily a matter for An t-Árd-Chláraitheoir, Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages, and for local registrars who operate under his general direction. As indicated in my reply of 21 April 1999, persons appointed registrars, who are not permanent and pensionable employees of the health boards, derive their incomes from fees for registrations and fees for the certificates issued by them. I refer the Deputy to S.I. No. 278 of 1987, which sets out the principal fees for the registration of events and the issue of certificates. In particular, and limited circumstances, a registrar may issue a certificate which is compiled from an entry in a register, in which amendments have been made, and the fees for such certificates are set out in S.I. 234 of 1987, which will be forwarded to the Deputy for his information.
