Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

It is strange that we should find ourselves in a position where legitimate issues that have been raised by the people whose support the Government will need in order to pass a referendum, should a second one take place, are not being recognised. This makes the campaign for a "Yes" vote extremely vulnerable.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, the Minister of State represents a Government which has an 18% approval rating. That may change or it may not.
