Vol. 505 No. 1
161 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the ongoing difficulties a person (details supplied) is encountering obtaining her birth certificate; if all outstanding problems will be immediately resolved; if her birth certificate will be immediately released; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13087/99]
The administration of the registration system is a matter for an t-Árd Chláraitheoir, the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages, and for local registrars who operate under his general direction.
An t-Árd Chláraitheoir had advised that a search in the birth records, including the adopted children register, on the basis of the information furnished, has failed to disclose a birth registration in respect of the person referred to by the Deputy. An application for authority for the late registration of the birth in question has been received by An t-Árd Chláraitheoir. However, because of the lack of information necessary, it is unlikely that the procedure for the late registration of the birth can be completed. The person seeking the registration has been advised with regard to the further information required to register the birth.
