Noel Treacy (Galway East, Fianna Fail)

I agree with some of the sentiments expressed by Deputy Allen. I thank him and his party, as I do Deputy Michael Higgins and his party for the powerful and solid support and endorsement they have given for the EU constitution over the past 12 months.

I do not know where Deputy Allen got the idea that a decision had been made. Nobody said the decision was made. We have not made a decision. We have until November 2006 to make that decision.
