Let us broaden the debate by creating a clear vision for this country at the centre of Europe, incorporating Europe's history of defeating poverty and strengthening democracy. Let us not keep our heads in the sand, as some would wish, and pretend we can remain full members of the EU and at the same time vote "No" to Nice. We in the House must take up the challenge of ensuring that we give real leadership so that we can succeed in making Ireland more relevant and more central to the process of building a new Europe.
