Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development

Social Protection Issues: Minister for Social Protection

2:00 am

Sarah O'Reilly (Aontú)

That is good to hear.

On a point of clarity, the Gender Recognition Act 2015 falls under the Department's remit. I was not asking about Scottish legislation; I was only giving it as example. I was asking the Minister if he would commit to amending the Gender Recognition Act 2015. It falls under the Department's remit. As we speak, there are three men in Limerick women's prison, one of whom identified as a woman after he was convicted. It needs to be addressed. Many people have a good interest in this and wish to protect women's rights and women's spaces.
