Ballot to cut voting age set to be delayed

Enda Kenny has signalled there will be no referendum on reducing the voting age during the lifetime of this Government.

Mr Kenny also said he is willing to take part in television or radio debates on the same-sex marriage referendum and that he will strongly campaign for a yes vote.

During his end of year interview, the Taoiseach spoke about upcoming referenda and how some issues to be put before the people may be postponed.
