There are no immediate plans for such a body of work. The programme for Government contains an agreed pathway on this and a number of other constitutional amendments.

In fact, the timetable was that once the people made the decision on the eighth amendment, which they did earlier this year, we would move on to further referendums this autumn, one of which was on Article 41.2 and the other being the one that we discussed in the Dáil last night, which I intend on proceeding with in October. I would hope that we would have an opportunity of asking the people this question at some stage in the future but I am keen to await the outcome of the Chairman's deliberation.
