I had asked about the Minister's understanding of the section that dealt with somebody being mistaken as to the identity of the person. Could she clarify what that meant, particularly in the scenario I outlined in terms of a transgender person?

The Minister can only respond once but these are exceptional measures. I ask her to hold back and Deputies might indicate in advance. Deputy Coppinger has the right to contribute after the Minister has spoken.
