An Sceideal

Fiafraítear díot an aontaíonn tú leis an togra -

Ní theorannóidh an fo-alt seo saoirse chun taisteal idir an Stát agus stát eile.

Ní theorannóidh an fo-alt seo saoirse chun faisnéis a fháil nó a chur ar fáil sa Stát maidir le seirbhísí atá ar fáil go dleathach i stát eile ach sin faoi chuimsiú cibé coinníollacha a fhéadfar a leagan síos le dlí.’,

MÁ THOILÍONN TÚ leis an togra, cuir X os coinne an fhocail TÁ ar an bpáipéar ballóide.

MURA dTOILÍONN TÚ leis an togra, cuir X os coinne an fhocail NIL ar an bpáipéar ballóide.

I move:
