Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Guím beannachtaí na Nollag agus athbhliain fé mhaise ar an Tánaiste agus ar mo chomhghleacaithe sa Teach seo agus sa Seanad.

I wish the Tánaiste and her colleagues in this House and the other House and their families every good wish for Christmas and the New Year. While we disagree on many things in this Chamber, the one thing we are agreed on is that we are very fortunate in this House to have staff of such excellence across all sections of the complex. I thank them for their work in 2014 and wish them health and happiness for Christmas and the New Year.

The Tánaiste referred earlier to referendums next year. Can she confirm whether it is the Government's intention to pass the children and family relationships Bill prior to May and the proposed referendum on marriage? Will she also say whether it is the Government's intention to hold a referendum during 2015 on our commitments with regard to the Unified Patent Court?
