I propose to take Questions Nos. 208 to 210, inclusive, together.

The Minister for Housing Planning and Local Government has made a Polling Day Order for a referendum to be held on Friday 25 May 2018.

On Polling Day, the people will be asked to vote on whether they agree or disagree with the proposal to delete Article 40.3.3 in its entirety, and to substitute an article in the Constitution, the object and effect of which would be to articulate clearly the principle that laws may be enacted by the Oireachtas to provide for the regulation of termination of pregnancy.

The Referendum Commission was formally established on the 9 March by the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, and the Hon. Ms Justice Isobel Kennedy was nominated by the Chief Justice to act as Chairperson to the Commission. Queries on the referendum should be directed to the Referendum Commission (Tel: 01-639 5695; email: refcom@refcom.ie).

The Department of Health has no role in relation to the referendum campaign.
