The wording will go to Cabinet next week. Subject to being approved by Cabinet next week, it will be published and the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, I and others will then have an opportunity to go through the wording. Changing the Constitution is never straightforward. We always have to bear in mind how it might be interpreted by the courts. I have a strong view that laws should be made in the Oireachtas and that decisions on how people's money should be spent should be made in the Oireachtas. We always have to take that into account in making any change to the Constitution. The wording will be brought to Cabinet by the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, next Tuesday. Subject to approval by Cabinet, we will be able to share it with everyone on Tuesday and discuss it further from there.
