Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
General Scheme of Gender Recognition Bill 2013: Discussion (Resumed)
11:15 am
Ms Yvonne Woods:
The Free Legal Advice Centres feel a provision to amend the equality Acts would be good because of the dividends Mr. Merriman mentioned and the fact it would remove the ambiguity in the area. It would mean a transgender person can rely on the law and would provide them with protection from discrimination. We do get calls about this at our centres.
