General Scheme of the Thirty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution (Role of Women) Bill: Discussion
9:00 am
Dr. Laura Cahillane:
The last point made by Ms O'Connor is key. If one puts a provision into the Constitution to say the State should support such persons, then the means by which one supports them is by creating new legislation. There must be a conversation on legislative supports and it must be built into the constitutional discussion as well.
