General Scheme of Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Presidential Voting) Bill 2014 [Private Members']: Discussion

Vice Chairman:
I have a few questions myself. I thank Ms Quinn for her presentation and look forward progressing this and seeing how it will work out practically on the ground. One of the key issues raised in the debate was the question of what option we will end up putting before the people. Although the Bill has been labouring for a while, there seems to be a bit of impetus behind it now with the options paper being issued and the statement made by the Taoiseach when he was in America. I hope we can keep that momentum going.
Is there any wording in the Bill that the officials fear might have subsequent consequences elsewhere?
