Seán Ó Fearghaíl (Kildare South, Fianna Fail)

There has been little progress on the proposed constitutional convention. I accept that there will be little movement on it between now and the referendum, but can the Tánaiste indicate whether it will require a statutory instrument or primary legislation in order to advance the matter? Does he envisage having a further briefing with the parties on the matter?

Second, when will the monuments Bill which is particularly relevant in the light of the upcoming 2016 commemorations be published? When is the mental health (amendment) Bill expected to be published? I understand recent court rulings have underlined the need for clarity in this regard.
