Question:

16. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the status of a foreign birth registration in respect of a person (details supplied) in Qatar. [9666/20]

Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade

Foreign Births Registration, by its nature, can be a detailed and complex process, often involving official documentation related to three generations and issued by several jurisdictions.

With regard to the specific application the Deputy has enquired about, I can confirm that the Foreign Birth Registration team in my Department has been in direct contact with the father of the applicant and this application has now been approved.
