I think I can speak for Deputy Buckley and anybody else who is online in saying that in 2024, people are entitled to equality and fair treatment. It is a crazy situation that in 2024, even after the passing of the referendum and that, Mr. Moran has to come in and put his whole life story in front of the public. It comes back to someone having decided that it would be put in, but no one taking responsibility to try to take it out. From our perspective, I assure Mr. Moran that we will do what we can to see where we can go with it. If we can, we will recommend that that one line, as Mr. Moran said, which is causing all the - I will not say trouble - misunderstanding and hurt, which we can see from Mr. Moran talking to us, be removed from the legislation.
