Thirty-ninth Amendment of the Constitution (The Family) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-01-23
============================================================

Martin Conway (FG), Administrative Panel

We would just write a completely new Constitution that is fair and respectful to everybody. However, the people will ultimately decide this. What better way to demonstrate democracy than to have a referendum and let people decide it. In my closing comment I will say one thing, which is let us have a respectful engagement and debate. That is what the people deserve. I sincerely hope the Minister will lead the way in articulating the case for a "Yes" vote.
