551. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 496 of 12 June 2018, when the provisions of the Civil Registration (Amendment) Act 2014, upon which the commencement of some sections of Part 9 of the Children and Family Relationships Act 2015 are dependent will be commenced; the reason for the delay; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26799/18]
View answerSections 96 and 98 of the Children and Family Relationships Act 2015 amend sections 6, 9 and 13 of the Civil Registration (Amendment) Act 2014.
A number of amendments to civil registration legislation, including those referred to above, remain to be commenced pending the roll-out of training to staff of the Civil Registration Service who are employees of the HSE. The General Register Office is in a position to begin provision of training as soon as the HSE notifies it of the dates and venues. Discussions to commence the training are well advanced and it should hopefully commence shortly.
