Recognition Update: Labour LGBT meet with Minister Burton
Last week, members of Labour LGBT met with Joan Burton TD, Minister for Social Protection.
On Thursday 23 September, members of Labour LGBT had the opportunity to meet with Minister Burton to discuss the State's Draft Heads for Gender Recognition Bill 2013. Civil servants in the Department of Social Protection - who are working on the legislation - were also present.
Co-Chair of Labour LGBT Louise Hannon (who is also a member of the TENI Board) described the meeting as 'very positive'.
It is expected that Minister Burton's officers will appear before the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection in late October to discuss the Draft Heads.
