Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-05-18
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I have a question for the Minister. I appreciate he has indicated that he will go back to the Parliamentary Counsel and consider the release of the names of the persons. Going back can sometimes be fruitful and I know the previous Minister went back a number of times on these issues. In fact, the situation did eventually evolve. Will the Minister also go back and inquire as to why information in respect of a visit or inquiry having happened is limited to a genetic relative?
