Question 200: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding the recent High Court ruling on 19 October 2007 regarding gender dysphoria and gender identity disorder; and the plans being put in place to change the law. [26818/07]

I understand that the effect of the judgment of the High Court in this case is that the system of registration of births, as it relates to those with gender dysphoria, is incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. The system of registration of births and the legislation governing that system do not come within the functional responsibility of my Department.
