Question:

439. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if she will provide an outline of the staffing resources in the Adoption Authority of Ireland in view of the efforts to establish administrative agreements with other countries for the purposes of inter-country adoption and taking into account the new laws governing these processes with the introduction of the Adoption Act 2010, the subsequent sharp reduction in the numbers of children being available to adopt into Ireland through inter-country adoption since the passing of this law in November 2010.

Written answers

The existing staff complement of the AAI is 25. Sanction has recently been provided for the recruitment of 4 additional staff and the Authority has begun the process of filling these posts. I am satisfied that these staffing numbers are adequate to enable the AAI to fulfil its statutory requirements under the Adoption Act 2010 and the Hague Convention.
