Catherine Murphy (Kildare North, Social Democrats) | Oireachtas source

Amendment No. 12 is in my name among others and obviously I support it.

What is different about this Dáil is that we went through a pretty unique process in advance of the referendum. It is important we leave a marker giving the context of the review. This Dáil will not deal with it because there will be a general election in the meantime. It will be dealt with by a subsequent Dáil and some of us may not be here. It is valid for us to leave a marker of what is intended because we have been through that unique process that included the Citizens' Assembly, the all-party Oireachtas committee and the referendum campaign in which we had very real engagement on the doorsteps. We do not know how the legislation will play out, but these are markers that we at least want to see in a review.
