Ceisteanna (380)

Andrew Doyle

Ceist:

380. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if she will provide an outline of the staffing resources at the Adoption Authority of Ireland; if this has increased or decreased in the past number of years; if she will provide the specific figures of staff employed in the Adoption Authority in the area of inter-country adoption; if she will confirm that current staffing levels in the area of inter-country adoption are sufficient enough to allow for inter-country adoption to resume here; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Adoption Authority of Ireland has advised that it currently employs 25 staff (24.1 whole time equivalent). Issues in relation to staffing within the Adoption are a matter for the Authority as a quasi-judicial independent body. As such, I have asked the Authority to respond directly to the Deputy.
