I welcome the witnesses to the committee and thank them for a very detailed and comprehensive submission. What I took from the interaction between the witnesses and Deputy Durkan was that we have to proceed urgently to ensure that we have a framework that is fit for purpose and we never encounter these problems again. While we might not have the answers in this room today, the failure to retrospectively recognise has led to some of the problems and the legal limbo we see facing LGBT families. Some broader issues were mentioned. Will Ms Fagan explain how they intertwine with the Children and Family Relationships Act?
