I must be honest with the Deputy that I am at a loss in this regard because neither I nor my predecessor in the Department brought any legislation through the Seanad. It may have been a Private Members' Bill so I cannot give the Deputy an answer on that. I can say that we have conducted an independent review of the 2015 legislation and a report was given to me a number of months ago that outlines a number of recommendations. That report was given to the Attorney General for his legal advice. I have not yet received that legal advice back. I genuinely hope that the Deputy is correct that the RTÉ "Prime Time" programme this evening will discuss the difficulties, the discrimination and the marginalisation of our trans children.
