Catherine Noone (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We will now move to the discussion, as we agreed to last week and as we discussed earlier, with regard to the advices that have been received and discussed by the committee. I will go through the six options. Of course, it is not an exhaustive list of options. Option 1 is repeal simpliciter. Option 2 is repeal based on published legislation entrenched in the Constitution. Option 3 is repeal based on legislation published in tandem with a referendum. Option 4 is repeal and replacement on specific grounds. Option 5 is repeal and replace on broad grounds and-or expressing a rebalancing of rights.

Option No. 6 is repeal and replacement with provision conferring exclusive power on the Oireachtas to regulate. I will allow members approximately five minutes each. They should indicate if they would like to speak. The first speaker is Deputy Lisa Chambers.
