Let us be clear, Isobel Kennedy of the Referendum Commission indicated to people before the referendum that unlike what Deputy Durkan has said, it was on the deletion of the 8th amendment. Furthermore, all of the detailed aspects of the Bill could not be conveyed in a binary question such as a referendum. People voted for this referendum for lots of different issues not on the word "arrangement" or "transfer". In fairness, to suggest so is a nonsense.
