Seanad debates

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).

 

I add my voice to those of other Senators who caution on the dangers of a "No" vote as an act of revenge on the Government. In my area there is a palpable air of anger among those who voted for the Government parties in the general election. There is a strong feeling that they were sold a pup. The next general election is the appropriate time to register a verdict on the Government, or even the next local or European elections. It is important that disappointment with the Government not be used as a reason for defeating the Nice treaty. During my campaign locally prior to the referendum I will be urging all those I meet to vote "Yes".
