The major irony and the obvious point is that the Government is telling us that it will legislate for constitutional reform to give voting rights for presidential elections to Irish people living outside the State. Surely one would imagine that if the Government can legislate for that, then it can legislate for residents outside the State to elect members to the European institutions. That may be a bit simplistic but it is certainly a point that jumps out at me right away.
