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.
By voting "Yes" we will ensure that when the review of the Common Agricultural Policy takes place, we will have friends and allies at the negotiating table. By voting "Yes" we will ensure that Ireland continues to enjoy the social and cultural progress that has been a fact of Irish life since we joined the European Union. By voting "Yes" we will protect our neutrality by putting a requirement into our Constitution that no Irish Government, now or in the future, can enter into a common defence without first having a referendum of the Irish people.
