I thank Mr. Dunne for that and the detailed account of some of the anomalies. It was very helpful to us. As he said, the Citizens' Assembly had some very clear recommendations, particularly on the reform of the carer's allowance. I thank Mr. Dunne for his insights into Article 41.2. He and Ms Hughes are on the same page. The Citizens' Assembly recommendation speaks of deleting and replacing, which is another way of saying "amending". We are currently grappling with different wordings that might potentially be put to the people in line with the recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly on constitutional change. It is very helpful to hear the views of Family Carers Ireland on those too.
