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).

 

There are many reasons to be opposed to a Government and many reasons to be opposed to the workings of the present Administration. However, it would be wrong for people to vote against this treaty for domestic political reasons. There are two distinct issues here. If people want to vote for these reasons let them wait until the next election so that they do not treat the applicant countries with the disdain they wish to express for the Government. They must not take advantage of the situation and use the treaty to land punches off the Government.
