I have a similar position. I will be supporting repeal simpliciter, but I also support Deputy Hildegarde Naughton's suggestion that the heads of a Bill be published in tandem with the referendum Bill in order that citizens would be aware of what they were voting on. That would be wise and I suggest the report specifically request the Government and the Minister for Health to publish the heads of the Bill before the referendum.
