The Deputy will be aware that responsibility of the registration of births rests with the HSE.
The Registration Services have been impacted by the recent cyber-attack on the HSE. This has resulted in the service not being in a position to register births and deaths for at least four weeks.
The General Register Office, which operated under the aegis of my Department, has referred this matter to the Eastern registration office for attention.
I understand that the hospital and registration staff are working to resolve any matters that arises on a case by case basis.
I hope this clarifies the matter.
