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.
If we do not go forward we will go backward. Having outlined these benefits, it seems ludicrous that some will continue to advocate a "No" vote. Opponents have outlined a number of concerns they have with the treaty and I am prepared to deal with those issues honestly, as is the Government. On this occasion we do not have the luxury of saying "No". It is too simplistic to take that stand and I believe we will do the right thing and vote "Yes".
