Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

It will be published when all the data are finally put together. It seems young people voted against the treaty, two to one. That rings an alarm bell in terms of what Deputy Creed said about a disconnect. There is also a sense that, notwithstanding the fact that the campaign was very much conducted on the back foot, there was no instinctive enthusiasm. It appears that the European project has lost some of its excitement and people do not have that connection. I take the Deputy's point. Over and above the treaty, I shall come back to the House on that issue.
