I raise the issue of cohabiting couples, on which a number of constituents have been in contact with me. Very often at a time of bereavement, people who have made a decision not to get married or enter into a more formal arrangement and who may have lived together for many years and have property or children together often find themselves dealing with complicated legal issues relating to access to pensions, inheritance, etc. Does the Government have any plans to legislate for cohabiting couples to make it easier for them to access what I think we would all agree are their rights?

I will revert to the Minister on that. The Deputy has made a fair point. There has been legislation in the past in respect of cohabiting couples to try to make issues of that kind, in particular inheritance and other such matters, much easier. I would encourage further discussion with the Deputy on the specifics he raises and on which he has highlighted concerns. He has made a very fair point. I will talk to the Minister in respect of that.
