Professor Fiona de Londras:

On the preferendum point, to the best of my recollection in 1996, the constitutional review group formed the conclusion that it was not constitutionally permissible. That is my recollection, but it might be worth checking.

I understand the Citizens’ Assembly recommendation to be, as the Deputy put it, namely to ensure the Oireachtas had the power to legislate to the extent it recommended but to leave it to the Oireachtas to decide whether to do that.

As for the latter question, that is the realm of politics which I cannot really address.
