Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

Given the extremely disturbing nature of the commentary of the activist Peter Tatchell presenting sex education with children in a positive light, will the Taoiseach confirm that Mr. Tatchell or his organisation, the Peter Tatchell Foundation, and the other organisations with which he is associated, did not have any engagement with the Department of Education and Skills and will not have any engagement but, more importantly, did not have any engagement with the Minister with responsibility for children and the policy regarding sex education for our children in national schools? The commentary of Mr. Tatchell is very disturbing and I want to know if Mr. Tatchell, or any of the organisations with which he is involved - they are numerous and he is a patron of some of them - has had any engagement and, if so, what the nature of that engagement is.
