Civil Unions Bill 2006: Second Stage
8:00 am
Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)
It is not fair to say to gay and lesbian people that only one model of State recognition is available, namely, that one must take on all the incidents of marriage. It is not fair to say to heterosexual cohabiting couples that the only basis on which they can be recognised is if they enter into a marriage equivalent.
