Northern Ireland

Alliance Party MLA Eóin Tennyson published plans for a conversion therapy law in December 2024, alongside a consultation that closed in late March 2025.

Mr Tennyson wants to bring in a Private Member’s Bill. He proposed that Northern Ireland adopt plans that were abandoned by the Scottish Government over fears they would face legal challenge. Plans that could see parents and pastors face seven years in prison for legitimate conversations about sexuality and gender.

One of the UK’s most formidable human rights lawyers said those plans are outside the NI Parliament’s powers. Aidan O'Neill KC added: “the NI Assembly has resolved that a Member’s Bill is not an appropriate vehicle ‘to progress significantly complex or cross-cutting legislative change’”.
