Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

I understand the Deputy's point but for presentation it is important that it is done in this way and that we make it very clear lest a dispute of a legal nature should arise in the future on the question of what precisely we are referring to. Although I may have some personal views on the issue of the European Atomic Energy Community and the legislation that created it, it would be wrong to ignore the fact that the treaty touches on that area. Presentationally, it would be a mistake to adopt the Deputy's proposal.
