1907. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if she will investigate the reason the Adoption Authority of Ireland has failed to correspond with a person (details supplied) for over nine months regarding an application for adoption; if she will clarify the appropriate level of communication in such a case; and if she will instruct the authority to reopen communication with the person.

Written answers

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

I have been advised by the Adoption Authority of Ireland that there is ongoing contact with a person who has been authorised to act as a representative for the person the Deputy has referred to.

I understand the matter will be considered by the Board of the Adoption Authority of Ireland in October.
