Depending on whether the citizens' assembly makes recommendations or proposals, they would come to the Oireachtas committee which would reflect on those and engage with that level of expertise. It would then have to make a decision as to what it wants to do arising from that body of work. Does it want to make propositions for a referendum? Does it want to make recommendations for a change to the eighth amendment? Does it want to make a series of proposals for the Oireachtas to consider? I cannot answer that question for the Deputy because I do not want to predetermine what the Oireachtas committee might do.
