Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-12-01
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

The wording proposed in amendment No. 21 is a little bit gender-specific. There is a little bit of a problem with it. There are other gender identities which this binary gender description does not take into account when setting out the balance required on the board. I ask the Minister of State to consider that. The provision is very binary in that regard.
