  • Egan couple on trial in High Court over surrogacy parental recognition Constitutional rights (surrogacy/parental recognition) · Co. Kilkenny

    Kathy and Brian Egan, a couple from Kilkenny, brought judicial review proceedings in the High Court seeking legal recognition of Kathy as the genetic mother of their son, born in 2019 to a surrogate in Ukraine after repeated miscarriages and failed fertility treatments. Brian Egan was diagnosed with an aggressive type of cancer shortly before the boy's second birthday, making the recognition urgent. The couple argue the State's failure to provide a mechanism for retrospective declaration of parentage amounts to discrimination and a breach of constitutional and ECHR Article 8 rights. The case is before Mr Justice John Jordan and is expected to run for a number of days.
