Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I have no problem about maintaining the separation of powers that exists and have no intention whatsoever of interfering in any way, good, bad or indifferent, with the independence of the Judiciary which, by and large, has served our country and democracy well. The Deputy's question, he was very exact about questions last week, was:

To ask the Taoiseach if he has put in place or plans to place any administrative arrangements to facilitate the consultation by him and officials of his Department with party leaders concerning constitutional amendments.

His question is about administrative arrangements and no administrative arrangements were ever put in place for any referendum-----
