Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that Here2Help closed its operations on 30 June 2020 and proposes to transfer its adoption related files to the Adoption Authority of Ireland.

Once this transfer of files happens, the Authority will need to integrate relevant records and consider how best it can provide an information and tracing service for persons whose records were held by Here2Help.
