Why does the commission believe recognition has not yet happened? Deputy Jonathan O'Brien indicated earlier on that there may be dark reasons as to why. Maybe it is more a benign reason in that there is a concern among officials in the Department of Justice and Equality that recognition will give rise to new causes of action which may result in litigation.
