Seán Ardagh (Dublin South Central, Fianna Fail)

If I am in that position, the Deputy can be assured that I will table amendments.

Regarding the proposal that evidence obtained in contravention of one's constitutional rights should be allowed, which comes first, the Constitution or legislation? If legislation allows the Constitution to be thrown to the wind to a certain extent, difficulties would arise. The question of whether a referendum on the legislation is required is in doubt, but I agree with the sentiments and principles expressed in the amendments. I await the Tánaiste's response.
