‹ Questions on Promised Legislation Divorce Bill progress
Summary
Deputy Madigan asked to expedite Second Stage of her Thirty-fifth Amendment of the Constitution (Divorce) Bill 2016, noting strong public interest. The Tánaiste said the Bill was in the Private Members' Bill lottery and would have to emerge from there.
I moved First Stage of my Thirty-fifth Amendment of the Constitution (Divorce) Bill 2016 on 6 July 2016. Some eight months later, it has not yet reached Second Stage. I receive e-mails and texts daily about this Bill, which will be of enormous assistance to about 300,000 separated couples throughout Ireland. Is there a way of expediting Second Stage of the Bill?
