The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs published the General Scheme of the Adoption (Information and Tracing) Bill (‘the General Scheme’) on 27th July 2015 and subsequently forwarded the General Scheme to the Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children for pre-legislative scrutiny and public consultation.
