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.
I am sure that former and current Ministers in the House could testify to late nights where the midnight oil was burned, compromises were made and alliances formed and reformed. They will remember coming out into the early morning light having made agreements, perhaps not getting everything, but most of what they wanted. That is how Europe works and I have no doubt that, if we reject this treaty, Europe will continue to evolve along the lines it has set itself.
