Charlie McConalogue (Donegal North East, Fianna Fail)

Following the announcement by the Tánaiste yesterday that the fiscal compact referendum will take place at the end of May, can we have a reassurance that the Tánaiste is at one with the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs that the children's referendum will take place during 2012? Perhaps the Tánaiste can update us on whether the national vetting bureau will be published before Easter, as promised. If not, what are the delays?
