Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)
In reply to Deputy Rabbitte, the Abbeylara judgment was based on constitutional considerations. The Government is prepared to engage in discussions on the issue and to share its views in that regard. However, the matter cannot be dealt with by way of legislation alone because it was ruled out, by way of the Supreme Court judgment, on constitutional grounds.
