Did I understand the Taoiseach correctly when replying to an earlier supplementary by Deputy FitzGerald, when he indicated, to me at least, the he was prepared to meet the leaders of the other political parities in the Dáil with a view to discussing possible further amendments to the Constitution? If I am correct in that — that he has already agreed to do that this afternoon — am I correct in thinking that those discussions would take place before the referendum he has already indicated the Government intend to hold?

I do not think the Deputy is summing up my position exactly in response to supplementaries from Deputy FitzGerald. But what I am saying — and I think this was the manner in which the questions were put to me — is that my mind is not closed in regard to a discussion on a review of the Constitution, a discussion with the leaders of the other parties about a possible review of the Constitution.
