I want to continue on the theme raised by Deputy Cullinane on the competing entitlements of the right to protest, as opposed to the right to access what is available and provided for in the Constitution separately. Two questions arise. When the procedures to date are legal-proofed and the review is advanced, will its legalities be finally checked again, just to be sure to sure? My information is that the particular procedure followed in the referendum carries with it more than the usual strength and cannot be challenged, except if there is constitutional approval by way of referendum. Is this true or false?
