Ms Mary O'Toole:

I would agree with the contributions made by my fellow speakers. In previous referendum campaigns, for example, the marriage equality referendum, the Legislature published the 2015 Child and Family Relationships Act which made it clear to the populace what it intended to do without actually having to make that legislation part of the Constitution and solidify it for ever more, as it were, until a further referendum. Similarly, at the time of the divorce referendum the wording was put to the people, then the divorce legislation was published and everybody understood what that would involve. It is, perhaps, that sort of process, and subject to the difficulties of the questions as to whether existing constitutional rights, which may or may not continue to exist, since 1983 are going to be there. At least if people know what they are voting for, that would assist.
