One of the main issues appeared to be neutrality. The majority want the country to remain outside of any military alliance, although we can endlessly debate the correctness of this position. To solve the problem, the Government went to our fellow member states and obtained the Seville Declaration, but will it be enough to calm people's fears? That depends on whether they trust the Government. In 1997 Fianna Fáil promised that the question of joining NATO's Partnership for Peace would be put in a referendum, but we joined without one. In the recent general election campaign we were told that there would be no cut-backs if Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats were returned to power, but these promises were not kept. Will the people, therefore, trust the Government on the declaration? If one wants trust, one must be honest.
