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.

 

We have had peace for over half a century in Europe. It is essential to remind ourselves time and again that this is about peace. If we have peace we have economic prosperity. We can travel from one end of Europe to the other, from the Twelve Pins to the Urals, which is what it is all about. Many in this House are too young to remember anything about the war. It was an horrific experience and a terrible time. We need to constantly say this European experiment is about peace in Europe and about maintaining peace in Europe. If we have peace everything else falls into line.
