382. Deputy Pádraig Rice asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will enact the recommendations from the 2018 review of the Gender Recognition Act 2015 and the former Minister’s report in response to that review, which set out proposals to address several recommendations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerMy colleague the Minister for Children, Disability, Equality, Integration and Youth just 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 are included in the National LGBTIQ+ Inclusion Strategy.
A Steering Committee, chaired by the Minister for Children, Disability, Equality, Integration and Youth 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.
