As the Taoiseach is aware, the Constitutional Convention met last weekend in Malahide. A proposal was put to the convention that there should be more free votes on Dáil and committee business. Has the Taoiseach any proposals in this regard?

I have.

Will he tell us what they are?

The Government and the Dáil will consider all of the reports of the Constitutional Convention and will debate them here, as is right and proper----

No doubt the debates will be guillotined.

----and as already committed to by the Government.

Will the Taoiseach continue to expel free voters from committees?

The vote was 84 in favour.

I am well aware of the outcome of the vote.

Will the Taoiseach give an amnesty to those who exercised a free vote?

We will consider all of the convention reports and will discuss them here in open session, not in secret rooms as used to happen before.
