The Government is facing renewed calls for clarity on the details of the upcoming gender equality referendums.
“We don’t understand the delay from Government in publishing the wording,” she said.
“We on the Committee produced a clear wording to be put to the people with cross-party support that every member of the Committee signed up to and we put it to Government last December. “We were promised that by the end of the summer term - that is back in July - we would see the Government’s own version of the wording or whether they approved ours or not.”SIPTU, the National Women’s Council of Ireland and Family Carers’ Ireland are meeting today and will call on the Government to publish the wording of the referendums and commit to a polling day.
Irish citizens who are on the electoral register and aged over 18 will be eligible to vote in the referendums - if and when they are held.
