The submissions process on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution is now closed. Submissions were accepted from the 14 October 2016 to 5pm on 16 December 2016. Postal submissions received after the 16 December were not accepted. Please click here to view submissions received from members of the public, advocacy/interest groups and other representative organisations. Approximately 13,075 submissions were received, of which 8,092 were received online and 4,983 were received by post. Of these, approximately 12,200 have been published. In total 872 were not published. Of those originally received and not published the reasons were as follows: 529 did not comply with the submission rules/ guidelines - - 415 were submitted anonymously online; - 102 were received by post and had indecipherable signatures and were therefore deemed to be anonymous; - 4 contained offensive or inappropriate material and therefore did not comply with the submissions rules/ guidelines; - 8 were not relevant to the topic. In addition a further 343 submissions were not published for the following reasons: - 325 duplicates (where the exact same submission was received more than once online with the exact same time stamp on the submission, thus indicating that the submitter hit submit more than once by accident); - 18 requests for removal from submitters. The total number of submissions received and published will be finalised in the coming weeks. Submissions Rules/Guidelines The following rules apply in respect of submissions received by the Assembly and were advised in advance. Subsequent decisions taken by the Secretariat during the process are in italics below. - The Assembly welcomed submissions from Irish citizens and non-citizens living in Ireland or living abroad. - All submissions received were published on the website and displayed with a full name (first name, surname)/name of organisation, if appropriate. - Anonymous submissions were not accepted. Submissions made with just a first name listed are not being published. Equally, submissions received with an initial and surname (e.g. J Smyth) are not being published. Exception: Submissions received with a series of initials that are commonly recognised as being a name (i.e. JP, PJ, AP) and a surname were published. - In the case of personal stories and sensitive submissions, all personal data and related identifiable details were removed or redacted if requested. These submissions are listed online as “Name with Secretariat”, or NWS. - If an individual asks for his/her name to be withheld but had not submitted a personal story, only comment/opinion, the Secretariat contacted the individual to ask if would he/she like the submission removed as all submissions were published with a name etc (as above). - If an individual indicated that he/she were under the age of 18 and requested that his/her name be withheld this was respected. - Each submission received either on our website or by post, was treated as an individual submission including all signatures to that submission. If, for example, a submission was received with twenty signatures it was treated as one submission. If the same submission was received twenty times, each signed individually, they were treated as twenty submissions. - The Assembly reserved the right not to accept a submission if it was deemed offensive or inappropriate. Note: Submissions Not Received The Secretariat is aware that in some instances, users availing of the online system to make a submission did not successfully complete the process. The Assembly’s website development company, pTools, has reviewed the application, server logs and other logs and believes that, due to the high volume of submissions over the period, especially in the closing week, some submission may not have been captured. The company has advised that this could have happened for a number of reasons e.g. where a person's internet connection was interrupted, where the connection timed out, where the submit button was not pressed at the end of the submission process or where it was pressed but due to the high volume of traffic the transaction failed to complete. The Secretariat continues to deal with any of these queries on a case by case basis. Where partial details were captured from which pTools were able to identify the contact details of the person making the submission these details were supplied to the Secretariat who made contact with those individuals.

Tá an próiseas aighneachtaí i ndáil leis an Ochtú Leasú ar an mBunreacht anois dúnta. Bhíothas ag glacadh le haighneachtaí ón 14 Deireadh Fómhair 2016 go dtí an 5pm an 16 Nollaig 2016. Níor glacadh le haon aighneachtaí a tháinig sa phost i ndiaidh an 16 Nollaig. Cliceáil anseo chun aighneachtaí a fuarthas ó bhaill den phobal agus ó ghrúpaí leasmhara a fheiceáil. Fuarthas tuairim is 13,075 aighneacht, 8,092 díobh a fuarthas ar líne agus 4,983 sa phost. Tá 12,200 díobh sin foilsithe. Tá 872 ar fad nár foilsíodh Seo a leanas na cúiseanna nár foilsíodh aighneachtaí a fuarthas: Bhí 529 díobh nár chomhlíon rialacha/treoirlínte maidir le haighneachtaí a chur ar aghaidh - - Cuireadh 415 díobh ar aghaidh ar líne gan ainm; - Bhí 102 aighneacht a cuireadh ar aghaidh sa phost nach bhféadfaí an síniú a bhí leo a léamh agus dá bhrí sin measadh iad a bheith gan ainm; - Bhí ábhar maslach nó míchuí i 4 aighneacht agus dá bhrí sin ní raibh ag teacht leis na rialacha/treoirlínte maidir le haighneachtaí a chur ar aghaidh; - Bhí 8 gcinn nár bhain le hábhar. Chomh maith leis sin bhí 343 aighneacht nár foilsíodh ar na cúiseanna seo a leanas: - Seoladh an aighneacht chéanna 325 uair (fuarthas an aighneacht cheannann chéanna níos mó ná uair amháin a raibh an stampa ama céanna ar an aighneacht a léiríonn gur bhuail an t-aighnitheoir an cnaipe seolta níos mó ná uair amháin trí dhearmad); - 18 iarratas ó aighnitheoirí aighneachtaí a tharraingt siar. Déanfar an líon iomlán aighneachtaí a fuarthas agus a bheidh le foilsiú a dheimhniú sna seachtainí atá romhainn. Rialacha/Treoirlínte maidir le hAighneachtaí Tá feidhm leis na rialacha seo a leanas i ndáil le haighneachtaí a fhaigheann an Tionól agus cuireadh an t-eolas seo ar fáil roimh ré. Tá cinntí a ghlac an Rúnaíocht ina dhiaidh sin le linn an phróisis léirithe thíos i gcló iodálach - Chuir an Tionól fáilte roimh aighneachtaí ó dhaoine ar saoránaigh de chuid na hÉireann iad agus ó dhaoine nach saoránaigh iad, bídís ag maireachtáil in Éirinn nó thar sáile. - Rinneadh gach aighneacht a fuarthas a fhoilsiú ar an láithreán gréasáin agus ainm iomlán (céad ainm, sloinne) /ainm na heagraíochta, leis más cuí - Níor glacadh le haighneachtaí nach raibh ainm leo. Níl aighneachtaí a fuarthas nach raibh ach céad ainm leo le foilsiú. Mar a chéile, níl aighneachtaí a fuarthas nach raibh ach ceannlitir agus sloinne leo (m.sh. J Smyth) le foilsiú. Eisceacht: Is féidir aighneachtaí a fuarthas a raibh sraith ceannlitreacha, atá in úsáid go forleathan mar ainm (i.e. JP, PJ, AP), agus sloinne leo a fhoilsiú. - I gcás scéalta pearsanta agus aighneachtaí íogair, baineadh amach na sonraí pearsanta go léir agus sonraí inaitheanta gaolmhara nó rinneadh iad a chur in eagar. Tá na haighneachtaí seo liostaithe ar líne le "Ainm ag an Rúnaíocht" nó NWS. - Má iarrann duine, nár sheol scéal pearsanta isteach ach a sheol tuairim/ráiteas ar aghaidh, a n-ainm a choinneáil siar féadfaidh an Rúnaíocht teagmháil a dhéanamh leis an duine chun a fhiafraí an mian leo an aighneacht a tharraingt siar mar go bhfuil gach aighneacht á bhfoilsiú le hainm srl (mar a shonraítear in 2 thuas). - Má thugann duine le fios go bhfuil sé/sí faoi bhonn 18 mbliana d'aois agus iarrann a ainm a choinneáil siar, caithfear sin a dhéanamh. - Caitheadh le gach aighneacht a fuarthas tríd ár láithreán gréasáin nó sa phost mar aighneacht aonair ann féin beag beann ar síniú aon duine amháin nó níos mó a bheith le haighneacht. Mar shampla, má fuarthas aighneacht a bhí sínithe ag scór, caithfear leis an aighneacht sin mar aon aighneacht amháin. Má fhaightear an aighneacht chéanna fiche uair, agus é sínithe ag daoine difriúla ina nduine is ina nduine, is ionann an méid sin agus fiche aighneacht a bheith faighte agus is mar sin a chaithfear leo. - Coimeádann an Tionól Saoránach an ceart gan glacadh le haighneacht má mheastar é a bheith maslach nó míchuí. Tabhair ar aird: Aighneachtaí Nach bhFuarthas Tuigeann an Rúnaíocht gur tharla sé go raibh úsáideoirí a bhí ag baint leasa as an gcóras ar líne nár éirigh leo an próiseas a thabhairt chun críche. Tá cuideachta forbartha láithreáin gréasáin an Tionóil, pTools, tar éis athbhreithniú a dhéanamh ar an bhfeidhmchlár, ar thaifid an fhreastalaí agus ar thaifid eile agus creideann an comhlacht, de bharr líon mór na n-aighneachtaí sa tréimhse a bhí i gceist, go háirithe an tseachtain deiridh, nár éirigh le roinnt aighneachtaí dul tríd. Tá sé curtha in iúl ag an gcuideachta go bhféadfadh sé go raibh roinnt cúiseanna gur tharla sé seo m.sh. má cuireadh isteach ar cheangal idirlín an té a bhí i gceist, má bhí an t-am caite, mura brúdh an cnaipe Brúigh ag deireadh an phróisis aighneachta nó má brúdh é ach de bharr líon mór tráchta ag an am nár tugadh an t-idirbheart chun críche. Tá an Rúnaíocht ag plé leis na fiosruithe seo ar fad ar bhonn cás ar chás. Sa chás thángthas ar roinnt sonraí ó pTools a thug sonraí teagmhála an té a bhí ag déanamh na haighneachta, cuireadh na sonraí seo ar fáil don Rúnaíocht a rinne teagmháil leis na daoine sin.
