Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, Socialist Party) | Oireachtas source

I wish to ask about the Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2013 which is to deal with section 37 of the Employment Equality Act. At the time of the successful marriage equality referendum, the Government made reference to dealing with this. When the Anti-Austerity Alliance Private Members' Bill passed Second Stage, it was mentioned that this would be prioritised. The Minister of State, Deputy Ó Ríordáin, is quoted as stating it would be through and finished by September but we are at the end of September. I notice it is in section D of the Government's legislative programme for the autumn. Will the Tánaiste provide information on when we can expect to see it before the House?
