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.

 

European Union membership has provided us with huge markets for exporting our products. Membership has made Ireland an attractive base for American and other non-EU companies to the European Union market. It is very difficult to understand the attitude of Sinn Féin, which talks about the fear of other countries joining the European Union. Does it want to put Ireland back to the time before the 1970s when it had few markets and Great Britain was our main market?
