Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

Among the items of legislation we are supposed to deal with in this session is legislation pertaining to the holding of three referendums, the establishment of a constitutional convention and an amendment to the European treaties to allow for the European stability mechanism. Not one of these measures has been published and all of the promised consultation due to be held has not been held. Can the Taoiseach explain when we will see these measures, given that there is only one week left in the parliamentary schedule? Why has the promised consultation, due to be held with the Opposition and others, not yet been held?
