As I indicated in my replies to Parliamentary Questions No. 195 of 1 December 2004, No. 343 of 26 April 2005 and No. 228 of 17 October 2006 all of the Department's records on this matter were supplied to the individual concerned on foot of a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
Copies of a letter and an agreement were produced as evidence that the parents of the person in question had ceded parental control and responsibility to the adoption society and to his being placed in the care of the persons who sponsored his application for naturalisation. The records do not indicate the name of the adoption society.
Advice has recently been received from the Office of the Attorney General in this matter. This advice will form the basis of a response due to issue shortly to solicitors representing the person concerned.
