Dr. Mary Dobbs:

Part of this would, to an extent, have to be articulated within the Constitution, but we never normally put great detail into the Constitution either. The legislation develops such an articulation to a greater extent.

Turning to the query about coherency more generally, the other recommendations stemming from the citizens' assembly's report included recommendation No. 22, concerned with there being a senior ministerial position with responsibility for biodiversity, and recommendation No. 24, for a new independent agency to help to co-ordinate policy and ensure this requisite coherency. This would be necessary because, essentially, there are so many actors and, as the Deputy mentioned, conflicting policies arising. The constitutional referendums, therefore, would be complimentary but they would not necessarily be targeted to address the issue of coherency, even though they could help with that issue as well.
