Under the legislation for referendums there is a proposal to change the nominating procedures for the presidency arising out of the Constitutional Convention. The Government committed to a referendum on that, as I understand it, in terms of actually changing how potential candidates for the presidency are nominated, which is a substantive issue. Can the Taoiseach indicate whether the Government will be legislating on that front?

The Government has said that we would receive the proposals from the Constitutional Convention. If the Government accepted them, it would say so and indicate the intention to hold a referendum, but not indicate timelines. The Government has made a decision in respect of two referendums. This is not one of them, but I will advise Deputy Martin on the question of legislation. As I understand it, this is not on the priority listing at the moment.
