- An Bille um an gCeathrú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Votáil Uachtaráin) 2014: An Dara Céim [Private Members] - Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Presidential Voting) Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 Mar 2015)
Barry Cowen: That must be emphasised. It was mentioned that the Government is examining the French model, where seats are reserved in parliament for nationals living abroad, with the promise that Irish citizens living abroad would be given a vote very shortly. We acknowledge the commitment is progressing, no matter how slowly it may be doing so. It is over a year since the Constitutional Convention...

Barry Cowen: The Minister of State is trying to qualify a statement made with the best of intentions and in good faith. I do not hold him responsible for it; far be it from me to do such a thing. The audience on that occasion was led to believe that the Government was really committed to honouring the commitments of others in the past.
