Family relationships and children Bill

Summary

Bernard J. Durkan asks whether legislation on family relationships and children will precede the marriage equality referendum; the Taoiseach says work is continuing on the complicated Bill.

It is broadly accepted that the successful passing of the forthcoming marriage equality referendum requires that the family relationships and children Bill be enacted prior to the holding of the referendum. When will that Bill be published and brought before the House?

Work is ongoing on that Bill by the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs and the joint committee. It is quite a complicated Bill but I expect it to progress.
