Verona Murphy: I thank the Tánaiste. The only question that was asked was whether Fianna Fáil has a policy with regard to its own elected representatives.

The Tánaiste said he was the victim of such a profile and had to go to the...

Verona Murphy: I have seen in some quarters this referendum being referred to as a referendum on the woman's place in the home and the fact that having such a provision in the Constitution is a backward notion.
