It is interesting that Ms Heneghan should say that because I have actually raised the issue that there is no recognition in this State for non-binary people or intersex people, who actually make up a percentage. The intersex people are born such anyway. We need to change the Department's position. Here we have a classic example. Do the representatives not agree that even if your child were not non-binary, and you did not want them to have to attend a Catholic school and instead wanted a more multidenominational school, ethos would be the criterion that would justify transport in any case?
