There will be huge difficulties if Ireland votes "No". We do not know when enlargement will take place. The applicant countries have been working hard to meet the deadlines for 2004 and they will not be happy to see their hard work go for nothing. We will be forced to go back to the beginning and try to hammer out another agreement. Anyone who has been involved in negotiations will know how difficult that will be. It is not fair to say that enlargement will go ahead despite a "No" vote. It will be a big issue to be faced.
