Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

The Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022 remains a priority for me as Minister. I published the Bill in January of this year and it completed Committee Stage in the Dáil on 10 March. The Bill is due to begin Report Stage in the Dáil on 27 April. My Officials and I are committed to maintaining the progression of the legislation at pace to support timely enactment this year.
