Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. My understanding is that the various NGOs and interest groups that represent protected categories, such as women's groups, LGBT groups, Traveller groups and so on, broadly support the legislation. If that has changed, it is new information to me. The intention of the Minister is to conclude the Bill in the Seanad as soon as we can but obviously commencing it will take a bit more time.
