Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

We will publish the wording and the referendum Bill. We have circulated two detailed briefing documents outlining the scope of the proposed amendment. We have met the Opposition parties at least twice and have listened carefully to suggestions and concerns put forward by various groups. The wording will be published with the Bill next week and will reflect those considerations. If people have other comments to make, they can make them then.
