294. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if he will report on his participation in the United Nations Human Rights Committee's review of Ireland's performance under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in Geneva in July 2022; the steps that he will now initiate to fulfil the recommendations of the Committee, in particular those related to religious oath-taking in the Constitution, which the Committee obliged the State to take concrete steps to remedy by 2025, given the relevance to his role with responsibility for equality issues; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to inform the Deputy that the specific constitutional matter he raises is more appropriately directed to An Taoiseach, who I understand has recently informed that Deputy that the matter is kept under ongoing review.
