Eamon Gilmore
Ceist:103 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that certain children adopted abroad are not recognised in this State as having been legally adopted, despite all legal procedures having been followed in the State of origin of the children concerned; if, in view of the distress and the legal difficulties created for such parents who have adopted the children in good faith, the steps, if any, he intends to take to deal with this problem; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
