Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Deputy Martin asked me when I will introduce the legislation. I cannot answer the question for him. I will wait and see what the report states. We have a process of decisions to make following the production of the report. I do not have a date either for the legislation in respect of the abolition of the Seanad. I will speak to Deputy Martin's party and other parties about the proposition in that regard. It is clear that referenda and the holding of them is a matter for public consultation and political decision in the House. I want to do this in the right way.
