Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The provisional legislation published prior to the referendum was very straightforward. It was within the confines of what I once again put on the record of the House in my first question. Why we cannot proceed to address that three months later concerns me. Regarding the other matters the Minister is hoping to address in tandem with this legislation, what further delay will that cause in allowing the Houses of the Oireachtas to give effect to the views of the electorate as expressed on 10 November last? I would be disappointed, rather than concerned, if there were any further delay in giving effect to what was a historic decision and one that all opinion in this House fully and fulsomely supported.
