Heads of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill
Tusla welcomes the publication by Minister Roderic O’Gorman of the Heads of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill. We look forward to enactment of the legislation to enable us process requests for birth information and provide a comprehensive tracing service in accordance with the proposed legislation.
Up until the date of commencement of the proposed legislation Tusla is obliged to process your request for birth information in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 / Freedom of Information Act 2014. This means that at this point in time, we will continue to do the best we can to provide you with as much information as possible, but will not be able to meet the expectation of what’s in the proposed legislation.
