At the moment, only around 8-10 referrals are issued at any time, then aprox 4 mths later the couple travel to bring home their child. There is an 8-9 month wait now on referrals, and the agency are up to early april, so in my opinion it would be easy to ensure all referrals are completed before any closures. I really do hope Ireland sits up this time and takes notice and impliment a sound agreement. There is only 1 agency in Ireland and it is possible to ensure 200 children do not go without homes.

Why not take the obvious course of action -- grandfather in families who've already received referrals, and then issue no new referrals until a new agreement can be reached? That way 200 children don't go without homes and the pressure to negotiate a stronger agreement between the countries continues?
