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 know some farmers may be tempted to vote "No" to Nice to register a protest about the current state of the dairy market, the difficulty with sheep tagging, perhaps the beef policy or some other issue that is adversely affecting them at present. If they look at the bigger picture, Ireland is better off inside the EU. We could not afford to finance the Common Agricultural Policy ourselves despite our economic progress.
