THE Government’s proposal for a referendum on June 11 is to amend Article 9 of the Constitution.

We must debate referendum issues calmly

If the referendum is passed this will have the effect of returning to the Oireachtas the power to decide the citizenship entitlements of people born on the island of Ireland, neither of whose parents is an Irish citizen.

The Government has published the proposed draft of an Irish Nationality and Citizenship Amendment Bill 2004 which will be put before the Oireachtas for debate if this referendum is passed.
