Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2019
597. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the status of a society (details supplied); if she was consulted regarding the liquidation of the society; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3054/19]
View answerI understand that St. Patrick's Guild Adoption Society ceased operations in December 2014. Its records were transferred to Tusla in May 2016. This has ensured that the relevant records are safeguarded and can be accessed for information and tracing services.
The liquidation or otherwise of the Society is not a matter for the Minister. The Society is no longer an accredited body under the Adoption Act 2010.
