Work is set to get under way on an Irish law to allow transsexuals to change their sex on their birth certificate.

The news comes despite warnings from critics that measures to change sex physically would not help resolve psychological turmoil.

The Minister for Social and Family Affairs, Mary Hanafin said she would "progress this matter in the immediate future".
