-----"Well done, Ireland." I would like to mention the wonderful work done by the Leas-Chathaoirleach and his committee, which took evidence from both sides quite impartially. I say this because it is the only aspect that has not been mentioned and complimented. Everyone else has been already.

I look forward with great interest to the Government's legislation which will give effect to this enabling clause in the Constitution. There are certain anomalies that need to be ironed out, for example, pension irregularities and the question of section 37 of the equality legislation, which allows schools, at least theoretically, to dismiss people for their lifestyles being in conflict.

That has been parked, but what about the presidential age referendum?
