Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Thirty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution (Role of Women) Bill: Discussion

9:00 am

Our job as a commission is to seek the highest level of protection. In effect, yes, we are seeking justiciable socioeconomic rights. Picking up on Mr. Frank Conaty's point, however, there are two layers there. One is the conversation about recognition, which is a valid issue and which can be seen as distinct from a explicit socioeconomic provision.
