I compliment the Minister of State, Deputy Roche, on the tremendous job he is doing in selling the treaty. I have read his contributions, listened to him on radio and watched him on television. He has been superb and is certainly leading the debate. I am very grateful that he has unashamedly championed the cause of the Nice treaty, which was not done decisively on the last occasion. I am glad for him that his considerable talents have at last been recognised by the Taoiseach.
