Yes. I would imagine that some impression of likely legislation, perhaps the heads of a Bill or a sense of what it is likely to be, would be required. If I remember correctly, that is what happened around the referendum on information and we have the abortion information Act, which has a longer Title, resulting from that. I believe the heads of a Bill were then put into full legislation, but I am open to correction. Dr. Kenny or Ms O'Toole may know.
