Just to be so clear about why @DonnellyStephen’s comments in the Seanad are so damaging: The Department of Health have been drafting surrogacy legislation for 8 years. They came out with draft legislation in 2014, 2017 and March 2022. None included children already born through

Ahhhh thank you! Happy Father’s Day everyone especially my one and only Dad and Cailean and his dad Declan and all the dads and zads ♥️♥️

Couldn't agree more . . Full parental relationships with both parents for children born through surrogacy is urgently needed .

This absolutely unacceptable in Ireland in 2022. I 100% agree with Mary Seery .

Delighted to see Poe Kiely Hogan Lanigan recognised and acknowledged as one of Irelands Best Law Firms . Well done and congrats to our hard working and dedicated great team .

Great to see new pathways to parenthood in surrogacy recommended in the UK today, particularly the legal recognition of intended parents from birth. Would be wonderful to see Oireachtas incorporate this into draft laws here! #surrogacy ⁦@LawUCC⁩ lawcom.gov.uk/surrogacy-laws…

Devastating news from Clonmel. Leaving Cert results day represents achievement, celebration & excitement. Tonight that has been replaced by grief, shock and sadness. Thinking of the families, friends & school community of the 4 young people. There are no words. Heartbreaking
