We add our voices of sympathy and solidarity for the families of those murdered at the weekend.

In the last week there has been a notable change in the tone of the debate surrounding the eighth amendment for the better. I also commend the remarkable surge in energy and determination of those who are campaigning in this referendum, particularly on the Yes-Tá side, up and down the country and in every town and village. Given that the polls show there may indeed be success for the Yes side in the referendum, and without counting our chickens before they hatch, has the Cabinet given any thought to when it would introduce the legislation that will allow for removal of Article 40.3.3° from the Constitution, should the country, with all due respect to everyone who votes on Friday, decide that is what it wants to do? Has the Cabinet decided when it will table legislation to be brought before the House? Every day we waste is another day 12 women are exiled from the country and at least five women illegally take abortion pills in solitary confinement in their homes to suffer without-----

I am sorry, but the Deputy's time is up.

-----the medical supervision of doctors. Has the Cabinet thought about when it will bring that legislation before the House? We argue it should do so ASAP.

While I appreciate the Deputy's earlier remarks, and I know many people who have been campaigning, and talking to people would probably share her sentiments, we should wait until the people speak-----

That would be a good idea.

-----before we move to legislation. The referendum is only a few days away now. The public will vote on Friday; we will know the result on Saturday. Should the people decide to delete the eighth amendment, Article 40.3.3°, from our Constitution, the Government and I hope the Oireachtas will support us in this regard. We will legislate along the lines we have proposed in the general scheme of the Bill. Obviously, there is always the possibility of a legal challenge to the referendum result. That has happened before. We will have to publish the legislation and get it through both Houses of the Oireachtas. However, I caution against any complacency at this stage. With the exception of a few postal voters, very few people have voted.

The result of the divorce referendum came down to one vote in every ballot box: we should not forget that.

We are out canvassing every day. There is no complacency.

Opinion polls have been wrong in the past. The opinion polls for the Seanad referendum always showed a strong majority for its abolition and that did not happen. I caution against any complacency.

I do not know of any complacency.

I remind Members that we have one minute for a question and one minute for an answer.
