Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

On the first question, we can be clear on the position. We are talking about the referendum date being 12 June, which is agreed by everybody at this stage. I thought last week that the House was due to meet on 6 May but it will not. I will tender my resignation to the President on that date. If we are to say anything in the House, it will be before that date, but that is a matter for the House.
