Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if he will put forward a referendum to amend the language of the constitution to adopt gender neutral language, specifically the articles on the role of President, which refers to the role exclusively in the male form, thus recognising the fact that Ireland has had, to date, two female presidents, and such language does not reflect this fact nor would it be perceived as such by those wishing to run for this office who may be non-gender binary.
