515. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection which Departments are involved in the interdepartmental working group tasked with assessing legislative impacts of non-binary gender marker inclusion on official documents, and what have been the findings from these working group meetings; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The report of the Review Group for the Gender Recognition Act under section 7 of the Act included, at recommendation 2A, that legal recognition should be made available to people who are non-binary. This recommendation will, in part, be informed by an impact assessment on existing legislation that would arise by providing for a new, non-binary, category of gender. This assessment will involve all Government departments and their agencies.
I trust this clarifies matters for the Deputy.
