Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2025-05-14
============================================================

Pádraig Rice (SD), Cork South-Central

Next week marks the tenth anniversary of the momentous marriage equality referendum, which was a landmark moment in our social and political history. Today, ILGA-Europe published its report ranking European countries on LGBT human rights and policy protections. Ireland was ranked 14th on that list, which is mid-ranking. There are significant gaps in access to trans healthcare, gaps around hate speech laws, gaps in our equality legislation, a lack of non-binary recognition, gaps in intersex rights and no ban on conversion practices. Will the Taoiseach join the growing call for Ireland to set the goal of being the best place in Europe to be LGBT and will he publish an action plan to reach that goal?
