Deputy Coppinger should bear in mind that the family involved requested privacy. She can understand they do not want this individual case discussed in the Dáil. I respect their request for privacy.

There are two referendums to be held in May, one on the question of the eligibility limit for the Presidency, which was a recommendation from the people's Constitutional Convention, and a second on the question of marriage equality, which was also a recommendation from the people's Constitutional Convention.

I do not know if Deputy Coppinger was actively involved in any of the campaigns in the 1980s when these amendments were considered previously. I have already said that there will not be another referendum during the lifetime of this Government.
