Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

That is much appreciated. I have a question about promised legislation on the fiscal treaty. Given the earlier announcement about a referendum, I ask the Taoiseach to outline to the House whether he intends to establish a forum within the House to discuss this matter in greater detail. When will the Referendum Commission be appointed? When is the fiscal responsibility Bill to be published? I ask for the timeline for the appointment of the Referendum Commission, the publication of the legislation and the holding of the referendum. Will a significant public information campaign be organised on the content of the treaty?
