Constitutional Referenda.
10:30 am
Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)
I propose to take Questions 1 to 3 together.
The renewed programme for Government envisages the following potential referenda during the lifetime of the present Dáil, subject, of course, to appropriate Oireachtas approval: to consider children's rights, based on the work of the Joint Committee on the Constitutional Amendment on Children; to consider amending Article 41.2 of the Constitution, to broaden the reference to the role of women in the home to one which recognises the role of the parent in the home; and to consider the establishment of a Court of Civil Appeal.
