Finally, with regard to the debate this House will soon have on the Civil Partnership Bill, I have no difficulty with any citizen or group of citizens giving their opinion on what should be in the Bill, but the question of constitutionality is a matter for the courts. The question of whether this legislation is approved is a matter for this House and the Lower House. It will be on Report Stage in the Dáil in the next week and should be available for our consideration before the summer recess. I look forward to the debate on it.
