I have just come from a meeting of the Joint Committee on Disability Matters and I was speaking on the floor of the Dáil, so I apologise for having missed some of the meeting. I am not sure whether some of my questions have been asked. What happens when a family takes a journey to have a second sibling? What could be the issues with the legislation in that context?

The CFRA has provided a pathway to parenthood for same-sex couples. Has LGBT Ireland come into contact with members who have chosen not to follow this pathway? If so, what reasons have they had for making that choice? What are the key lessons in the CFRA that should be learned in the context of the proposed AHR Bill?
