Closure of Cúnamh (formerly CPRSI) Adoption Agency
Cúnamh, formerly the Catholic Protection & Rescue Society of Ireland (CPRSI), closed on 31 December 2019, doing so with considerable regret because proposed legislation, once enacted, will vest all future rights and responsibilities for information and trace service solely in State Agencies.
Cúnamh files were transferred to the Adoption Authority of Ireland in mid-December 2019. These files included open information and trace cases and a waiting list for those requesting an information and tracing service.
The Adoption Authority will provide a service to anyone whose information was held by Cúnamh.
Contact details for the Adoption Authority are as follows:

Cúnamh would like to wish the users of our service, past and present, all the very best for the future.
