Senator Finucane spoke of immigration in the context of the Nice treaty referendum campaign. I agree with the Senator that there is no point is using wild language and that our task is to explain and reassure. Every time I speak to an audience such as today's I say, "mea culpa" and apologise for last year's result. Others could make a similar apology and acknowledge, like me, that they did not do enough last year. Nature abhors a vacuum and the vacuum caused by the lack of argument on the "Yes" side on that occasion was filled with dubious ideas which we must now challenge.
