Government Challenge
Initially challenging the 2007 ruling, on 21 June 2010 the Irish Government withdrew its appeal and set up an inter-departmental committee on the legal recognition of transsexuals. The report of this Gender Recognition Advisory Group was published in July 2011 and recommended legislation to recognise transsexuals. Launching the report, the Minister for Social Protection said the government would introduce gender recognition legislation as soon as possible, but by February 2013 no legislation had been introduced.
