Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-03-01
============================================================

Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

I share the objective in ensuring what we do is trans inclusive. It is important, however, we understand the Interpretation Act we are bound by. The legislation must be read in accordance with the provisions of the Interpretation Act. That allows us to read this provision in a way that is trans inclusive. It is particularly the view of the Parliamentary Counsel, from which we have to take advice, that an amendment of this nature is not necessary in light of the Interpretation Act.
