The challenge of bringing EU affairs closer to citizens was mentioned by many speakers. As I said, the Houses of the Oireachtas have to be a more active part of this process by becoming involved in discussions on EU legislation. While the Oireachtas has the right to deal with EU matters, it may not have the best means of doing so, after 30 years as a member state. Members should talk to the Danes and Finns because they have the two best models I have seen in terms of ongoing and active parliamentary accountability at this level before the snail and other directives are transposed.
