Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The latest European Commission report and research indicates that half of the people in this country have no opinion at all on the European constitution. Given this worrying statistic and the fact that the report was concluded under the flag of the Irish Presidency of the EU, will the Taoiseach undertake any further funding initiatives to enhance public awareness of the EU constitution? Where does he feel we are in this regard? We spoke before about taking elements of the constitution, named and proposed, that are uncontroversial and can be implemented. What is the Taoiseach's analysis of the next two years as far as the document is concerned? Is it the Taoiseach's intention to keep as high a level of awareness as possible in the public mind about what is happening and where he expects the European process and project to be in two or three years' time?
