Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
12:00 pm
Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)
I cannot put it any more succinctly than what is stated in the Bill, namely, that civil status means being single, married, separated, divorced, widowed, in a civil partnership, etc. In my opinion, this does not in any way downgrade the institution of marriage.
