Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I disagree with the assessment the Government kicked it off to the Oireachtas committee. The committee, in response to the citizens’ assembly report on repealing the eighth and in this instance, was the right place to assess, analyse and come to Government with recommendations of the report, which, as the Deputy said, it did in December, only last month. The Government will respond quickly and follow through as appropriate. The Oireachtas committee was the right place to place that. The Government will respond and follow up on the recommendations.
