Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I am happy to accept that will now be the date. I was reflecting earlier whether the Government would consider postponing the referendum because of the internal decision the Fianna Fáil Party will need to make. I am happy to accept the Taoiseach's word that it will be 12 June and all parties irrespective of their positions can now plan their referendum agendas. I thank him for his confirmation.
