I thank the Minister of State. He started his contribution by telling us that truly to call ourselves Europeans, we must protect and share values embedded in the treaties. We feel that Ireland has not played a very strong role. I do not think we could really call ourselves Europeans, given our approach to date, and I do not think we are alone in feeling this way.
