Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I accept that we need to make sure there will be adequate information available before people go to the polls. We have eight weeks in which to do so. The policy paper was approved by the Cabinet last week and there will be a public information campaign to explain what is being proposed. Needless to say, even though it is not a referendum in the constitutional sense, we will be applying the McCrystal rules. Therefore, we will not be able to use any public money to advocate, but there will be a public information campaign to explain to people how the offices will work.
