Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I reiterate I have not fixed the terms of reference or composition of the convention. Other locations, for example, British Columbia, have done this from a jury list system with a representative group emerging from all the different strands. What is done is allowing citizens to have a direct input into the way their country is run, with recommendations being offered which a government then considers. This matter will return to the House for discussion. I would like to hear the views of Deputies about how this can best be done in the interests of everybody.
