Ms Attracta Uí Bhroin:

No one can deny the horrible reality he set out. Following on from what Ms Carmody and Mr. Donoghue have articulated, we have an option. We can follow that or we can provide an alternative, an agenda for hope. As Ms Carmody said, we have to reach out to those who are left behind, those who have the right to be most angry and are most vulnerable to the agenda of nationalism. We can provide an alternative. Unfortunately, the reality of the EU's response we see right now is exactly contrary to that. In terms of the leaked draft strategic agenda, we have a complete failure to respond to the challenges of our time.
