MOTION NO 6

MOTION: Councillor S. Holland

That this Council write to the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, under whose remit the Referendum Commission lies, and ask him to propose legislation to empower the Referendum Commission to ensure and enforce that only factual information is presented by either side in upcoming referendum, thus cutting down on the politics of fear, uncertainty and doubt perpetuated by some, as seen in the Referendum to repeal the 8th amendment.

If this Motion is passed, a letter will issue to the relevant Minister and when a reply is received, it will be issued to the Members
