Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There is very real concern on this issue. I want to say to people listening to vote at the end of this week. Changing a country's constitution is a big deal. No one should allow other people to make decisions for them. I encourage everybody to vote. This is an opportunity to modernise and improve our Constitution in relation to both questions. I hope people take the opportunity to do so. Of course there are dangers towards the end of a referendum campaign that there will be attempts to try to scare and mislead people. I strongly encourage people to get their information from reliable sources, in particular from the Electoral Commission and from other broadcasting outlets that need to be transparent and truthful with the information they give out. Social media can be a very misleading place at times, but I think most people are aware of this.
