Ms Justice Mary Laffoy:

My answer to that is fairly predictable. I am not going to tell the Government what to do. I was given a particular job. I was asked to chair this assembly and did so. I endeavoured to do it on the most balanced basis possible. Obviously, when we come to a referendum, there are a number of requirements as a matter of law to ensure that the public knows what they are voting on. However, I would not think of telling the Government what to do. That may relate to some of the Deputy's other questions also.

The Deputy asked why the assembly went for the socio-economic reason. The sense I got from the feedback and what happened at the various sessions was that they felt the reality of the situation was that only people who had money could afford to travel to the United Kingdom, the Netherlands or wherever. I think that was what motivated that. Does Ms Finegan agreed?
