Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I do not accept the charge the Deputy has laid. I have seen some stuff online about disinformation in terms of the difference between "duties" and "place", and I think it is completely over the top and is a complete misrepresentation of the Minister's presentation. The existing articles are clear. I would have appreciated a response to my question from the Deputy. Does he favour a more inclusive encapsulation of the concept of family, as reflected in modern-day reality? Does he accept that in the modern era? Some 42% of children are currently excluded. Does the Deputy think we should bring them in and include them in the Constitution?
