Employment Equality Bill
Regina Doherty asks that the Employment Equality (Amendment) Bill be progressed beyond Committee Stage; the Taoiseach says it must first return from the Seanad.
When does the Taoiseach expect the Employment Equality (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill to be passed by the Dáil? It appears to be stuck on Committee Stage. We propose to hold a referendum this year on marriage equality, but employment equality is within our gift. Will the Taoiseach pay particular attention to moving it beyond Committee Stage, please?

Yes. It is to amend section 37(1) of the Employment Equality Act 1998.
