I spoke at length on Second Stage so I will not repeat those points. There are many amendments to be discussed, and I will address the specific issues later in the debate. I support the amendment tabled by Senator Zappone for the reasons already outlined. We should examine this again two years hence, particularly the forced divorce criteria. I hope it will be revisited much earlier in line with the Tánaiste's commitment. As soon as the referendum is completed we should revisit it, but, if not, at least with the amendment there is some type of safeguard to ensure it must be looked at again within the next two years. For that reason it should be supported.
