Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

The Chair should exercise a little consideration towards Members seeking information. Accepting that there was a job of work to be done, does the Taoiseach not accept that the urgency is not reflected in any stated intent on his part or the part of the Minister that the referendum will be realised in the current year? Is it not within his gift to give the House certainty that we will have, in 2010, a referendum that will enshrine children's rights in the Constitution?
