‹ Order of Business Family Relationships and Children Bill
Summary
Jerry Buttimer asks when legislation recognising same-sex couples and their children will be published. The Taoiseach says preparatory work is advanced but gives no publication date.
In the absence of Deputy Mattie McGrath I welcome his acceptance of the Supreme Court and its judgments. It is very welcome.
In Pride week I want to ask the Taoiseach about the Family Relationships and Children Bill. As the Taoiseach knows quite well many same sex couples await the publication of this very important legislation. Their children await it too, to get formal legal recognition. Can we have an idea of when that Bill will come forward?
