Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will have to seek an update from the Minister for Health on the WHO pandemic treaty. I am not personally aware of any advice in that regard. On the EU migration pact, I am confident of the ability of the Government and the Houses of the Oireachtas to opt in and there will be no legal requirement for a referendum. We are certainly not proposing one but we are proposing plenty of time in this House for people to debate and tease through the provisions. We obviously also provided extra time to the justice committee, at its request, to consider it.
