Registration of births outside State of children of Irish citizens domiciled in State. |
26.—(1) An tArd-Chláraitheoir may, on production to him or her of such evidence as appears to him or her to be satisfactory, cause the birth outside the State (other than a birth to which section 27 applies) of the child of an Irish citizen domiciled in the State to be registered in the register if— | |
(a) there was not at the time of the birth a system of registration of births in the place where the birth occurred or such a system that applied to such a child, or | ||
(b) it is not possible to obtain copies of or extracts from civil records of the birth. | ||
