PQ 123

249 Deputy Alan Shatter asked the Minister for Health and Children her views on delaying the ratification of The Hague Convention on Inter-country Adoption until such time as a bilateral agreement is in place between Ireland and Russia, in view of the fact that Russia is a primary country that Irish citizens adopt from and that not to delay the ratification of The Hague Convention would be to deny children in Russian orphanages an opportunity to be adopted by Irish citizens.
