Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Donegal North East, Sinn Fein)

If that is the case, why is he now proposing to give more away? Why would he tie the hands of future Governments? Why would he prevent the Irish people from having their democratic right to elect future Governments on the merits or demerits of their arguments? Why would he put us in a position where, if we vote "Yes" and put this into our Constitution, and a future Government seeks to undo that, it will be in breach of Article 3.2 and we would have a situation where the European Court of Justice would come after us for breaking a solemn agreement with all of the other member states? Why would he give away our sovereign powers in such a way that we cannot undo it? Could he be truthful about that in this campaign, which would be very important?
