‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Vital Statistics Publication. Legal inequalities for unmarried mothers
Summary
Shatter asked what legislation the Government would introduce to address legal inequalities affecting unmarried mothers and their children. Ahern said it was a separate question for the appropriate Minister.
The question is concerned with the age of unmarried mothers in respect of illegitimate births and would the Minister agree that unmarried mothers and children who are labelled as illegitimate are suffering from major inequalities under the legal system? What steps do the Government intend to take to introduce legislation in this area?
