Amharc ar fhreagra2574. Deputy Anne Rabbitte asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the amount of funding awarded to the National Adoption Contact Preference Register to run campaigns to promote its work; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33910/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 2572 and 2574 together.
The Adoption Authority of Ireland is a quasi-judicial body which is independent of the Department in its decision making capacity. As such, I have referred the question to the Authority for a direct response to the Deputy.
