Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 December 2013
71. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Finance if his Department is willing to provide further relief and support for those who adopt children here, in view of the low rate of adoption of Irish-born children at the moment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51586/13]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, there is a suite of measures currently in place to support parents with young families. I have no plans to introduce any further tax reliefs for those who adopt children. As adoption legislation is a matter for the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, the Deputy may wish to direct his questions to that Minister.
