SECONDED by Cllr. Ward

It was AGREED to write to the Ms.  Katherine Zappone T.D Minister for Children and Youth Affairs to have enacted and commenced without any further unnecessary delay, legislation which will acknowledge Adoptee Identity Rights and which will immediately allow Adoptees access to critical information relating to their own Health, History and Heritage in line with the equality and personal autonomy rights of other citizens and as voted for in two referenda. The letter should also request that legislation not include the imposition of a 75 year closure of all records pre 1978. This motion is to be circulated to all Local Authorities.
