Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2005
121 Mr. Gormley asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she received a letter from a person (details supplied) dated 6 May 2005 setting out reasons with regard to a person; the need for an application to be made to the High Court in order that an independent representative will be appointed in this adoption case; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17839/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe letter referred to by the Deputy in relation to a particular adoption case was received by me at the Department of Health and Children.
The Attorney General has been engaged in correspondence with the legal representative of this child's adoptive parents in seeking to find a solution to this case.
High Court proceedings have been issued by the Attorney General in his role as protector of the unprotected against the adoptive parents of this child. As the matter is before the court, it is not appropriate to comment further on this matter.
