I thank the 13 other Senators who spoke. They were Senators David Norris, Ray Butler, Catherine Ardagh, Victor Boyhan, Jerry Buttimer, Grace O'Sullivan, Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, Máire Devine, Colette Kelleher, Niall Ó Donghaile, Alice-Mary Higgins and Billy Lawless.
I apologise to the members of the trans community who came to observe the debate but could not be facilitated in the Visitors Gallery, which is a shame. I can see that the Press Gallery is empty. Members of the press do not really cover the proceedings of this House. It would be good, therefore, if we could amend the rules to allow us use the space available in the Press Gallery for guests.
