Not exactly points of law. Just ideas of what people want referenda on. Rory, Sorry to be a pendant, but as pointed out in the blog post these are suggestions on Twitter and Facebook.

The Irish people, in various referenda have voted that the X Case interpretation should hold. That if a pregnant woman is at risk of suicide, abortion (at any stage) is legal in Ireland. The only referendum on that would be to remove it. No Government has ever published law on what that means. e.g. how suicidal do you have to be? Who can perform the abortion?, etc. The ABC v Ireland case was just the ECHR telling us to get our act together, and if we say that something is legal in theory, then it should be legal in practice. The other choice for an abortion referendum would be to legalise it.
