Ciarán Cuffe (Dún Laoghaire, Green Party)

It is crucial we recognise the changing Ireland, that the nuclear family is less common than heretofore and that many do not have their lives recognised in the law, whether cohabiting or same-sex couples or any of the myriad family and relationship types that exist. It is crucial that all these issues be covered. I am not convinced the Labour Party's Bill deals with all these areas in enough detail.
