I wish to raise the issue of the Constitutional Convention again. I have done so several times. As the Taoiseach knows, the convention agreed a position on gender equality by removing from the Constitution its clause relating to women in the home and by extending the right to vote in presidential elections to citizens resident outside the State. When I asked the Taoiseach about these matters previously, he made it clear that he had no intention of bringing them to referendums. However, will he clarify the Government's position on these issues? Is he in agreement with the conclusion of the convention?
