LGBT rights campaigner Ranae Von Meding is one of several members of the campaign group who met with Minister for Health Simon Harris today to discuss the issue. She said LGBT children are “being discriminated against” because they are not legally connected to both parents. However, provisions in the Act to allow non-biological parents to be recognised as legal parents of children brought through in vitro fertilisation have not yet commenced.LGBTQ+ parent protest about to kick off outside the Department of Health.

“Everybody saw marriage equality and the success it became and thought ‘great, sorted’.. but now under its shadow, this has been allowed to go on and I don’t think people know much about it, even within the LGBT community.” “It’s been almost five years since Ireland said yes to equality, and yet what we have in Ireland in 2019 is not equal,” she said at the protest today.
