On the Gender Recognition (Amendment) Bill, I understand that the "Prime Time" special programme this evening will outline the challenges faced by our transgender community in Ireland. This Bill would amend the Gender Recognition Act 2015 to provide a right to self-determination for persons who have reached the age of 16 years, introduce the right to legal gender recognition for persons under the age of 16, and ensure consideration of the status of non-binary persons in Irish law. I understand that all Stages of this Bill went through Seanad Éireann in March 2017, which is nearly two years ago. It is very important to all involved and to their families. Will the Taoiseach indicate when the Bill might be before this House so it can proceed through all Stages?
