AdoptionIreland has today called for the resignation Sharon O'Driscoll from the Adoption Board, claiming that a conflict of interest exists.

THE GOVERNMENT must put a financial package together to ensure that Tristan Dowse, the child adopted and then abandoned by his Irish father in Indonesia, can stay with his birth mother.

AdoptionIreland has said it is concerned efforts to have Tristan Dowse readopted, however well meaning, are not in his best interests.
