View answerSection 10 the Referendum Act 1994 provides that whenever a Bill containing a proposal for the amendment of the Constitution is passed by both Houses of the Oireachtas, I am required to make an order appointing polling day. I will make the necessary polling day order if the Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2018 is passed by both Houses of the Oireachtas.
