I have questions regarding two items of legislation. Arising from Foy v. an t-Ard Chláraitheoir, Ireland and the Attorney General, a declaration of incompatibility was granted by the High Court regarding Ireland's refusal to recognise transgender realignment. When will a Bill be brought forward to rectify the position?


Second, the programme for Government contains a commitment to ratify the convention on persons with a disability, for which a wide range of legislative changes are required. When will a Bill be brought forward to make the changes required in order that Ireland can proceed with ratifying the convention on the rights of persons with a disability.
