Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 December 2012

View answerThe Constitutional Convention held its inaugural meeting in Dublin Castle on Saturday, 1 December 2012. The Tánaiste and I attended the meeting to wish the members well in their work, as indeed did representatives of the Opposition Parties. The Convention operates independently of the Government and will report direct to the Houses of the Oireachtas. It decides its rules and procedures, including the matter raised in the Deputy's question.
