Listening to the Taoiseach's speech, it was if it were business as usual. This is a unique moment and we need the Taoiseach, who will take to the pitch on our behalf, to remember that the values at stake are those of democracy, solidarity and peace. Addressing the issue will require much more than tinkering at the margins or introducing some technical adjustments.
