What the debate was about

Auto-generated

Amendments Nos. 3 and 4 relate to including a person subject to an illegal birth registration and illegal adoption in the definition of "adopted person". These include rights to the birth certificate, birth information, care information, early life information, incorrect birth registration information and to provided items.

Section 11(2)(b) states "may provide the relevant person with a statement setting out the early life information, care information or incorrect birth registration information to which the application relates". For each category of information, including birth information, care information and early life information, we release the information but we release the record as well.

Party shown is the one each member held on 2022-05-18, 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.
