As the Deputy will be aware, the Irish Central Authority is located within my Department and is responsible for receiving and transmitting information with other national Central Authorities. In April 2022, the Scottish Central Authority raised this case with the Central Authority in my Department. Officials are currently corresponding with the Scottish Central Authority and the International Social Services of Ireland (ISSI), located in Tusla, regarding this matter.
The current position is that the ISSI requested further documentation on 25 July. The Central Authority sent the request to the Scottish Authority with further reminders issuing on 2 September 2022 and 8 September.
I would like to assure the Deputy this matter is receiving ongoing attention by the Irish Central Authority and is being progressed as quickly as possible in conjunction with the Scottish Authority and ISSI.
