Surrogacy legislation
Deputy Thomas Byrne said couples in his constituency needed surrogacy legislation to help them start families and asked about Government plans. The Taoiseach said he was not sure whether legislation was promised, but he would investigate the matter.
I am sorry for interrupting the Deputy, but Members should be aware that there is limited time and I cannot extend the time unless it is by order of the House. Deputy John Brady should be aware of that.

It is not your fault, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle.

I cannot do it. It is a matter for the House if it decides to do it and then I will implement it.

I met some couples in my constituency, and I am sure there are others throughout the country, who need surrogacy legislation to be enacted in order to allow them to have a family. What are the Government's plans in relation to that matter?
