Scoping exercise to only examine records for specific illegality markers

The scoping exercise into illegal birth registrations is restricted to only examining records for specific markers which might indicate illegality.

A number of interim reports relating to the investigation show that the review is looking at a sample of just over 1% of records held by Tusla and the Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI) and is not looking for evidence of illegal adoptions. Instead, records are being compared against a set list of 24 labels or "markers" which might indicate an illegal birth registration has occurred.
