So far we need the forthcoming referendum to be on this issue, abortion and cannabis. I don't know what else needs to go on the list but the 31st Dáil better act on this soon.

Marriage equality shouldnt need a referendum, but if that's what it takes so be it.

Why do we need a referendum on cannabis? Where does the Constitution ban the consumption of marijuana?

The most important event concerning this matter is the Zappone/Gilligan case, if the Supreme Court rules against them then we'll need a referendum and ,after seeing similar situations in the US, I dread that outcome.

Lets see......a conservative country who have just voted in another conservative government......and you think that they will go all liberal in another referendum. This country is a long way from voting in gay marraige

I wasn't aware it did so but then again it doesn't ban gay marriage either.

We need a referendum to see if the people want to legalise these things.

Poll says otherwise.

And I wonder how many people who vote FG would describe them as a conservative party
