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).

 

An enlarged Community would offer further opportunity, especially for the younger generation. I appeal to young men and women, who see the prospect of an enlarged Community as an opportunity rather than a disadvantage and as a challenge, not a handicap, strongly to support the Government in this effort. I hope there will not be the apathy, disillusionment and misrepresentation we witnessed in the previous referendum and that people will be given a clear choice on this occasion to vote "Yes". In so doing they will enable Europe to expand and develop which in turn will enable the Irish economy to prosper, provide more employment and offer a better standard of living for all the people of this island for the foreseeable future.
