Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The monuments Bill is expected early next year. I do not have a date for publication of the mental health Bill.

Legislation is not necessarily required for the establishment of the constitutional convention, rather we expect to do it by way of political agreement with the parties in the House. Consultation has taken place in this regard. As the Deputy acknowledged, we do not intend to progress it this side of the referendum.
