Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

I move amendment No. 8:

In page 46, line 31, after "his" to insert "or her".

We dealt with this matter in some detail on Committee Stage. It concerns the desirability of gender proofing all our legislation. The Minister said he would provide for this in future legislation but that it would be difficult to do so in this Bill, given the way it amends earlier legislation. I presume that still remains the case.
