Lucinda Creighton (Dublin South East, Fine Gael)

My question relates to the Civil Partnership Bill. I understand there has been much discussion in the Taoiseach's party on the legislation in recent days. Media reports suggest the Taoiseach and his party have given a commitment relating to the promotion of the special position of the family set out in Article 41 of the Constitution. What does this mean? What will the Taoiseach do to promote the special position of the family set out in Constitution through this or other legislation? Is he committed to this approach, given the anti-family record of his party in government in terms of tax individualisation and so on?
