316. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs further to Parliamentary Question No. 524 of 1 December 2020, if he will provide a list of the 35 actions under the National LGBTI+ Strategy 2020-2021 which have yet to be commenced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42775/20]

I attach a list of actions in the National LGBTI+ Inclusion Strategy 2019-2021 that have yet to be commenced. The Strategy takes a cross government approach and various departments and government agencies are responsible for implementing different actions.
The Strategy is available to view at http://www.justice.ie/en/JELR/LGBTI+Inclusion_Strategy_2019-2021.pdf/Files/LGBTI+Inclusion_Strategy_2019-2021.pdf
I am looking to see how these actions can be advanced quickly. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused some unavoidable delays with implementation of the actions contained in the Strategy, and in the coming months I will be considering whether to extend the lifetime of the Strategy accordingly.
