Registration of Births
Dail Éireann — 2022-03-24
============================================================

Pauline Tully (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

Following the publication of the report by the special rapporteur on child protection, Professor Conor O'Mahony, into illegal adoption practices in the State, will the Minister confirm if he will establish an inquiry into illegal birth registrations, what form the inquiry will take, if the accountability will be a key component of the inquiry and what consultation processes are planned to be undertaken in this regard? Can the Minister also confirm that a once-off payment or compensation of €3,000 will apply to other institutions and individuals who have claims in this regard?
