Mar is eol don Taoiseach, tá dhá reifreann ar siúl ar an Aoine bheag seo. Eascraíonn na reifrinn sin as an tionól saoránach agus an coiste traspháirtí, agus na moltaí láidre a rinneadh sna tuarascálacha sin. Tar éis na tuarascálacha, bhunaigh an Rialtas coiste idir-rannach, ach níl cliú againn faoi céard a dúirt an coiste sin, na tuairimí, na moltaí nó aon tuarascáil. Tá an ceist curtha faoi dhó agam ar urlár na Dála agus trí cheisteanna ach níl freagra sásúil faighte agam. As the Taoiseach knows, two referendums are due to take place on Friday. They arise as a result of the strong recommendations of the citizens' assembly and the cross-party committee. Following the publication of the reports of the assembly and the committee, the Government set up an interdepartmental committee to look at their recommendations. The Government is clearly in possession of the relevant knowledge, but we are not. Will the Taoiseach indicate why that is the case? Will he give us the details and state if there are reports arising?
