Timing of talks with party leaders
Cluskey asked whether discussions with other party leaders would occur before referendum arrangements; the Taoiseach would not commit. FitzGerald said he would approach him about talks, and the Taoiseach assured him he would receive the approach courteously.
May I ask the Taoiseach if he will have such discussions with the other leaders before any arrangements are made for a referendum.

I thought there was agreement, that the Taoiseach's mind was open, and we could have discussions. I would have proposed to have been in touch with the Taoiseach in the next few weeks on that subject. I take it that such an approach will be received if I do approach the Taoiseach? I am going to assume that to be the case.

The Deputy knows that any approach from him is always received by me cordially, effusively even.
