flag An Irish trans woman challenges Ireland’s denial of her legal motherhood, seeking recognition under nationality law.

flag A trans woman with Irish citizenship is challenging Ireland’s refusal to recognize her as her child’s legal mother, arguing that being forced to claim paternity would violate her gender identity and marriage. flag She used stored sperm to conceive the child via IVF with her wife, who gave birth, but Ireland’s Foreign Affairs Department denied registration on the Foreign Births Register, citing that only the birth mother qualifies under current law. flag The High Court granted her leave for judicial review, with the case adjourned to January, seeking a declaration of her parenthood and the child’s Irish citizenship under Section 7(1) of the 1956 Nationality Act.
