Design of Ballot Papers: Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

Mr. Ger Deering:
Proposals have not been made and the deliberation process of the committee will form part of what will be considered in light of this. We acknowledge that it is something that needs further consideration and further research. It will be examined.
Deputy Charles Flanagan alluded to the fact that we understand there will be no referendums this year. Two major referendums are coming up in the next weeks in terms of elections and we are focused on them. We expect referendums will not take place until next year. After focusing on the two elections, we will turn our attention to this area.
