A review aimed at identifying further cases of illegal adoption in Ireland will be considered by cabinet Ministers this morning.
In 2018 then-Minister Katherine Zappone initiated a review after 121 cases of illegal birth registration were discovered at St Patrick's Guild adoption agency between 1946 and 1969. That number has since risen to 151.
In many of the cases it's thought the adoptive parents had their names entered on the birth certs as the natural parents.
A review looking at a sample of adoption records from other agencies to be considered by cabinet Ministers and published today, is believed to have identified similar cases.
