Thirty-ninth Amendment of the Constitution (The Family) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2024-01-17
============================================================

I simply do not understand which durable relationships will and will not be recognised. Are we saying durable but not polygamous? If that is what we are saying in what we are voting for, does that include all durable relationships? That is what we are voting on. All durable relationships will, by definition, have to include both polygamous and monogamous durable relationships. I do not see how it could possibly be interpreted otherwise.
