Ivana Bacik (Independent)

On a point of order, before the House suspends I ask the Minister of State to take the opportunity during the sos to consider whether some move towards the recognition of same-sex couples, and children within same-sex couples, might be done in the civil partnership legislation. The Minister of State said at an earlier stage that his view was that the matter should be dealt with in the civil partnership legislation rather than in this Bill. Will he will take the opportunity afforded to him by the sos to consider that?
