Seanad debates

Friday, 13 September 2002

An Bille um an Séú Leasú is Fiche ar an mBunreacht, 2002: An Dara Céim (Atógáil). Twenty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill, 2002: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

The choice to be made in the referendum is straightforward. This is not the time for us to hesitate or to turn away from the path we have followed for 30 years. Europe will continue to be good for Ireland and Ireland will continue to be good for Europe. The Treaty of Nice is the key to a better future for all Europeans. A "Yes" vote will open up a new pool of political good will from which we can draw in the future. Ireland needs Europe and Europe needs Ireland. The Treaty of Nice should be ratified. A "Yes" vote means jobs, growth and Ireland's future.
