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 are entitled to demand the highest possible standard of living for our people. We have a highly educated workforce and a high percentage of young people in third level education which was not the case 15 years ago. We want this situation to continue and increase. We want the EU funds we received to initiate progress in this area and for that progress to increase rather than diminish. I do not believe it will diminish, even in an enlarged Europe.
