Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We have already made arrangements for the Narrow Water Bridge to be on the agenda for the North-South Ministerial Council meeting in June, which will be hosted here. This is an issue that concerns a great number of people obviously. We want to keep that very much alive.

As to the constitutional convention change, Government has already agreed that there should be a referendum next year on equality of marriage - gay marriage - and reference to a number of other propositions, for example, a reduction in the voting age in regard to presidential elections. There will be no referendum this year in that sense, so Government will have to make a decision as to the number of referenda that will be held arising from the recommendations of the constitutional convention. So, the political process will be to put in place a commission to make preparations for whatever number of referenda Government decides and to introduce the legislation so the questions can be asked. That process will be put in train in plenty of time, but we have to make a decision as to what number and on what issues besides the one that is already confirmed.
