Exclusion of children from bill ’fundamentally wrong’

The exclusion of children from the Gender Recognition Bill 2014 has been described by Independent Senator Jillian van Turnhout as fundamentally wrong.

The Gender recognition Bill 2014 is to be considered by the Dáil Select Sub-Committee on Wednesday 17 June.

In a statement Senator van Turnhout said, "I cannot sit silently by as we tell trans children and young people to sit in the corner and wait for their rights to be upheld, maybe, at some point down the road."
