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).
This country may be enjoying a relatively sustained period of prosperity at present, but that will not always be the case. As sure as night follows day, there will be tougher times ahead for us. Who will we turn to at that point? Our partners in Europe? Why would they want to help a country that would have shown little regard for those only interested in helping themselves? If we vote "No" we will, in effect, be turning our backs on Europe and, as a result, Europe will turn its back on us.
