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.
We must examine where we have come from. There are issues on which I and many others have made representations at European level to ensure that our views are heard. They have been. Many times I have said in this House that the only time legislation is completed is within a month of the two year period given for the implementation of European directives. There is an inertia in any government. We need to have this outside influence exerted on us. We must broaden our views and ensure broader support.
