I wish to raise the issue of the Constitutional Convention again. I have done so several times. As the Taoiseach knows, the convention agreed a position on gender equality by removing from the Constitution its clause relating to women in the home and by extending the right to vote in presidential elections to citizens resident outside the State. When I asked the Taoiseach about these matters previously, he made it clear that he had no intention of bringing them to referendums. However, will he clarify the Government's position on these issues? Is he in agreement with the conclusion of the convention?

I am sorry, but this is not in order on the Order of Business. We cannot have a debate.

The Government was supposed to respond within four months of the convention's report.

Legislation again. This is not Question Time.

When will we debate these issues? In setting up the Constitutional Convention, the Government-----

The debates are okay because they have been promised.

-----made a commitment to give an official response and facilitate a debate within four months, but that has not happened. The delay is disgraceful.

Obviously, this is a matter for the Whip to make arrangements with the other Whips in respect of the debates that can take place here.

Is that a "No"?

I have already replied to Deputies before that we were not able to adhere to the timescales that were set out originally, but that obviously can happen between now and the summer in respect of the remaining debates about the Constitutional Convention. The Government will set out its position in each of those cases then.
