David Stanton (FG), Cork East

Yesterday, at a meeting of the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment, we heard about the Unified Patent Court system and its potential for Ireland. It could be worth between €500,000 and €1.5 billion per annum. There is a need to set up a referendum here to ratify the system.
What is the situation with regard to this referendum? Legislation is required to hold a referendum. Where are we with that? When will we see this legislation?
