    Hi All,
    This might be of use to someone.

    "As of Wednesday, 25 May 2016 the adoption records of St. Patrick’s Guild Adoption Society have been transferred to Tusla – Child and Family Agency. The records transferred include details of adoption and fostering arrangements of children from 1910 onwards.

    Tusla received in excess of 13,000 records from St. Patrick’s Guild. Currently, a dedicated team are reviewing and cataloguing the files so that Tusla will be able to provide an information and tracing service for anyone whose information was held by St. Patrick’s Guild.

    Tusla will be contacting everyone who has submitted an information and tracing request in respect of the adoption records of St. Patrick’s Guild with a response to their request in the coming months and Tusla are conscious that people are anxious to have access to this information and tracing service. "

    Best regards,

    Hi burmur,

    I can't find that mobile number but you could try the land line number from the above link - 076-6957265.

    If you've got free calls to all Irish landlines than I'd use the 'outside Ireland' number rather than the 1890 number.
    Both numbers do the same thing.
