Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I welcome the incremental clarity the Taoiseach has brought to the question of the date of the referendum. We are talking about the second week of June. The Taoiseach will consult Deputy Kenny and me about the day on which the referendum will take place that week. It is like being told one can have any colour as long as it is black. However, we will engage in that consultation.
