Young Voices on the Constitutional Future of the Island of Ireland: Discussion
Niall Ó Donnghaile (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I agree. We should not have a referendum or a vote next week or next year, but is what we are doing today not part of those discussions? We are advocating for discussion and we are having a discussion in the Chamber with a broad group of people. The big Ireland's Future event will take place in Dublin tomorrow. I am not saying that this is the be-all and end-all. Personally, that debate needs a home. The best place for it is a citizens' assembly because it can be informed and resourced. Does Ms Mallaghan not think the discussion is live and is happening? If it is, the question is how we get more platforms such as this.
