‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business Citizens assembly referendum
Summary
Paul McAuliffe asked whether the Government would hold a referendum on women’s place in society and related citizens’ assembly recommendations. The Taoiseach said the matter was under consideration and the Government was positively disposed to it.
I just came from a fantastic International Women's Day event in Finglas this morning. As a member of the gender equality committee to deal with the recommendations of the citizens' assembly, I want to ask the Government whether it intends to hold a referendum on the issue of a woman's place in society and how we might reflect caring in our Constitution, in addition to addressing many of the other recommendations of the assembly?
