I encourage the Minister of State to take on board this amendment. I proposed legislation to amend the Gender Recognition Act. Thankfully, a review of the Act's operation after two years was provided for in the legislation. The Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Deputy Regina Doherty, will commence the review and I hope that it will be informed by the legislation in this House. I hope that, in years to come, these reviews will be informed by amendments which were perhaps rejected by Government. I encourage the Minister of State to take on board this amendment.
