I thank the representatives from Transgender Equality Network Ireland for the very strong presentation today on the need for legislation that would be based on best international practice. Ms Mullin spoke at the Labour Party conference, where we passed a strong motion along the lines of the proposals here today. That was an important debate within the Labour Party and given the Minister is a member of the Labour Party, we will encourage her through party structures to bring forward the legislation demanded by the group.
