Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
Future Treaty Change in the European Union: Discussion
Professor Gavin Barrett:
The point is taken but I would raise one other point. If the change does not come about in the European Union, although it is not a question of us blocking it, that makes the European Union fit for purpose in the future, we are inevitably going to get the kind of change the Cathaoirleach is talking about because certain member states will simply move ahead using non-European Union treaties to enhance that co-operation.
