Seanad debates

An Bille um an Séú Leasú is Fiche ar an mBunreacht, 2002: An Dara Céim. Twenty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

The extraordinary arrogance of those in the "No" campaign is difficult to understand. I asked them in the other House if any of them had experience of creating one solitary job. The response was silence. To dismiss the prevailing advices is politically irresponsible and their irresponsibility will put jobs at risk. It is not many years since the best this country could offer our young people was the emigrant ship. I spent 21 years lecturing in Ireland's premier business school. Of the first BComm graduating class with which I dealt almost 80% had to emigrate in order to get a job. I feel sufficiently passionate about this matter not to let that happen again without a fight.
