6 The Constitutional Convention was established by a Resolution of the Houses of the Oireachtas in July 2012 to consider a series of possible amendments to the Constitution (Bunreacht Na hÉireann), including various measures of electoral reform, provision for same-sex marriage and – also of interest to readers of this Journal – the removal of the offence of blasphemy from the Constitution. Following completion of the mandated topics the Convention has power to make such other recommendations as it sees fit. The Convention includes four MLAs – Steven Agnew (Green Party), Stewart Dickson (Alliance Party), Alban Maginness (SDLP) and Martin McGuinness (Sinn Féin) – but no-one from the Unionist community.
