The Taoiseach has stated that he informed the Chief Justice that referendums will be held later this year and has asked for a judge to be assigned to the Referendum Commission. When will the relevant information to allow us prepare for those referendums be published?

It has been indicated that the Government intends to hold a referendum on the Seanad later this year. No decision has been taken yet as to the number of referendums to be held on that occasion. I expect that issue will be addressed and decided in the near future.
