On 14 April, the Constitutional Convention recommended that the Constitution be changed to allow for civil marriage between same-sex couples. As the Taoiseach will be aware, the result of the convention was decisive. I believe it represented a landmark moment for equal rights in Ireland. I ask the Taoiseach to set out for us the timetable he envisages for the consideration of this decision of the convention and when he imagines this issue might go to referendum for decision by the people.
