IT IS not possible to provide an estimated time frame for the introduction of gender recognition legislation, the Department of Social Protection said yesterday.
Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton told the European Transgender Council in Dublin last month legislation to provide for the legal recognition of transgender individuals would be put before a joint Oireachtas committee in October or November.
However, last Sunday Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore said that, while the Government was committed to such legislation, there was no committed time frame for its introduction.
