Two Fine Gael Ministers have said they have no plans for legislation to allow for the adoption of children by same-sex couples – despite pre-election commitments from their Coalition partner Labour to do so.
Minister for Children Frances Fitzgerald said she had no legislative proposals in the area, while Minister for Justice Alan Shatter referred a query from a Labour backbencher to Ms Fitzgerald and repeated her response on the issue, Irish Times reports.
Isn’t time for some Irish politicians to get out of the dark ages and discover that the year is 2012 ?
