View answerA central part of the review of the Gender Recognition Act 2015 was a consultation process that sought to have the broadest possible level of input in relation to the operation of the Act since its commencement. A public call for submissions was announced in early January 2018 with a closing date for receipt of submissions of 5 February 2018.
The responses received were from a mix of private individuals, members of the Oireachtas, individual professionals, advocacy groups, and other organisations.
