87. Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform the plans, if any, he has to introduce employment equality legislation; if so, the objectives he has in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9094/96]
Minister for Equality and Law Reform (Mr. Taylor): An employment [123] equality Bill which will prohibit discrimination in employment on grounds of gender, marital status, family status, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin or membership of the travelling community is being prepared in my Department at present. I expect to be in a position to publish the Bill shortly.
