Gender Recognition
Dail Éireann — 2026-05-14
============================================================

Jim O'Callaghan (FF), Dublin Bay South

The use and repute test is used across the board in the Department. It is not targeting any particular group of individuals. It is not too much to expect, when it comes to assessing identification, that people are able to satisfy the Department that their name is the name they have used for two years and how they have been known by repute for the same period. As I said, I will have a look at this case if the Deputy sends me the information in respect of it.
