Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour) | Oireachtas source

It is intended to have the constitutional convention launched this side of the budget. We are making arrangements to have it announced and launched. With regard to consultation on its composition, there have already been discussions with Opposition parties. We do not have any difficulty with further discussion on it. We would like to see it done in a manner to which we can subscribe rather than in a partisan way. I have no difficulty with further discussion with Opposition parties.
