An Bille um an gCeathrú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Comhaltaí de Thithe an Oireachtais) 2014: An Dara Céim [Comhaltaí Príobháideacha] - Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas) Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members]

I believe that this Bill and the wording it proposes to insert into the Constitution, while well-intentioned, is not suitable. A sentence from the basic law of the Federal Republic of Germany cannot be transplanted into the Irish Constitution without any attempt to recognise the very different political, social and institutional structures that exist in Ireland.
