132. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality her views on the implications of the ruling on 9 February 2016 by the High Court of Northern Ireland (details supplied); her plans to amend Irish equality legislation such that cohabiting partners are no longer discriminated against relative to their married peers; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
