Five months ago, legislation tabled by Deputy Bríd Smith passed Second Stage. Therefore, there is a clear message from the Oireachtas that the recommendations Ms O'Shea made - and beyond - need to be legislated for. Between Ms O'Shea's report and the legislation passed in late May, there is a clear appetite to move this on.

My instinct is that the Government is quite opaque about this report, to say the least. The Government is under an obligation to legislate but, as was said, this requires courage and needs to reflect the views not only of legislators but the general public.
