I am talking about the future of the European Union. This is an issue that is obviously current and which may challenge people's views and the passion with which people stick with the European Union. European citizens see themselves as European citizens and this is very much alive in Britain. That is really the issue.
I have one other point. I acknowledge the good relations with the Islamic community here in Ireland. In my own neck of the woods there are very good relations. We have a big Muslim community in County Mayo and there seems to be a very good formula there but, across Europe, to what extent are Muslim leaders being asked to engage and to challenge dissidents, as they describe them-----
