Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 November 2021
496. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth further to Parliamentary Question No. 651 of 10 March 2021, if correspondence will be made available to this Deputy which was forwarded to his Department in 1996 by the Adoption Board after the Department inquired from adoption authorities if their attention had been drawn to or were they involved in cases of illegal birth registration. [54633/21]
View answerI can confirm that, since replying to Parliamentary Question No. 651 of 10 March 2021, my Department has obtained a record that broadly resembles the Deputy's description. However, the letter from the Department to adoption authorities, which is included in the record, does not make specific reference to illegal birth registration.
My Department is arranging for this record to be released to the Deputy in a manner that protects the privacy of individuals and respects their rights under the General Data Protection Regulation.
