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.
Any reasonable person looking at the negotiations at Nice would have to view it as a triumph for Irish negotiators. That is not a pro-Government statement. As one who has spent my life negotiating, looking at the objectives, the problems, what was achieved, and how they began and concluded it was a triumph of negotiation. It can be called nothing else. If anybody wants an example of Ireland punching above its weight, that is it.
