Presidential Elections: Motion (Resumed)

 

I look forward to the establishment of a constitutional convention as promised in the programme for Government and the fundamental reformation of the presidential nomination process. However, the extension of voting rights to the citizens of Northern Ireland is not the way to go. While the idea may be to create further unity on the island, the reality is it will only make old divisions more entrenched. I support the Government amendment to the motion.
