Seán Haughey: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. The citizens of the EU are pretty exhausted at this stage and stretched.

Although treaty change needs to be addressed for many reasons, I am not sure there is much appetite for it among citizens at the moment. They are certainly not engaged...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (7 Nov 2023)
