Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 July 2025
541. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Social Protection if he supports the implementation of the recommendation in the review of the Gender Recognition Act 2015 to allow for a system of recognition for people who are non-binary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36096/25]
View answerMy colleague the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality recently published the National LGBTIQ+ Inclusion Strategy II 2024-2028 on 12 June 2025, along with its associated National LGBTIQ+ Inclusion Strategy II - Action Plan 2025-2026.
The remaining actions from the Gender Recognition Act 2025 Review, including the one relating to recognition for people who are non-binary, are included in the National LGBTIQ+ Inclusion Strategy.
A Steering Committee, chaired by the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality, will be established comprising representatives from the LGBTIQ+ community and statutory and non-statutory bodies including Government Departments.
My Department will be participating in progressing relevant actions in line with the Strategy and Action Plan.
I trust this clarifies matters for the Deputy.
