I prefer not to pre-empt the Supreme Court decision. I would not dare to do so. Once we get the decision, we will determine what to do. The action taken by the European Court of Human Rights pertained to marriage and its inter-linking with the birth certificate. That is being investigated and considered by the inter-departmental committee on marriage reform currently working. It is best to await the Supreme Court ruling before any further decision is made.
