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).

 

We should not focus on sections of the treaty, we should push the debate forward. One way to contribute would be to establish a new vision for the country and for Europe. We should create a vision for 2020 and the kind of society we would like to see then. We must move away from the planning framework based on annual budgets and objectives set in programmes for Government. We need to paint a picture of the society we want for our children and their children. It does not need to be too detailed but it should be based on our value system, those things we see as important.
