Section 17(2) sets out the relevant information about which the designated person is to inform the adopted person seeking the information. The amendment proposes: Where no birth information is available, the Authority shall seize all records relating to the relevant person’s adoption and/or illegal [I am open to having that changed to "incorrect or illegal"] birth registration and open an investigation into what transpired.
It also specifies that access to certain kinds of information, including birth certificates, is conditional on the information attending the mandatory information session. This refers to where a relevant body may release a statement to a relevant person that would set out his or her birth information.

Party shown is the one each member held on 2022-05-24, frozen by a dated join — not their party today. The Oireachtas API publishes no date of birth and returns an empty gender field for every member in this period, so no age or gender breakdown is shown.
