Fergus O'Dowd: On that, and without affecting your time, Deputy, I agree fully with you. Actually, having been there, I think we should go up again.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (29 Feb 2024)
Fergus O'Dowd: I do not disagree with Professor Ashe on that. The point is, notwithstanding what she said, there will be other forces out there trying to monopolise the debate, as she rightly acknowledged, and there will be vested interests and so on.
