An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2024-01-31
============================================================

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

We have an obligation to tell the truth. As I stated, Article 41.1.1° places marriage on a different bar or level from a durable relationship. It is there in black and white for everybody to see. Article 42B offers no practical support for families with disabled people. What happened here during Commencement matters this morning is outrageous and indicative of the way this House is treated by the Government all the time.
