Report into illegal birth registrations to be submitted to Minister before Easter

The long-delayed report into illegal birth registrations will be submitted to children's minister Katherine Zappone before Easter.

The report will be based on a scoping exercise announced by Ms Zappone at the end of May following the discovery by Tusla of 126 cases in which births were illegally registered between 1946 and 1969 in the records of St Patrick’s Guild. The records transferred to the agency in 2016.
