James Bannon (Fine Gael)

To clarify the situation, I thought the amendment suggested that a referendum should not be held on the same day as a local or European poll. That should be considered and was what I thought was contained in the amendment. I apologise if the word "European" was left out. There is confusion when a referendum is held on the same day as the European and local polls. The Minister should consider this. I will be amending the amendment for Report Stage.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
