Sovereignty, therefore, is not immutable; it is not a flame that does not change and blow. In a more connected world, isolated sovereignty is not much use. Intelligent interdependence and connections make sense. Those who put sovereignty in the freezer and only take it out for an occasional look while keeping it frozen miss the point that sovereignty is a dynamic that can change. My sense of sovereignty touches a little on a point made by Senator Ross to which I will return. Our choice is not between Boston and Berlin or Brussels. Our choice is to scalp the best percentage going in each space. We should not think that we have to align ourselves with the European Union or the United States. We can take the best of everywhere and add it to Irish genius and talent, in an act of creative reconciliation, in our own self-interest.
