I do not think everyone understands the process, in particular those who have not been part of it and those who do not understand Dáil and legal procedures. Essentially, the legislation will not be put to the people unless the referendum is carried. That will be down to the public. The legislation would just be to give an indication of what might follow. We should include in the report that if that is what is done, that it be done without delay afterwards. There is a concern that there would be a time gap. I will be supporting the amendment in favour of repeal simpliciter.
