Seanad debates

Thursday, 10 October 2002

Address by President of the European Parliament.

 

In simple terms, this treaty is about a family getting larger. Whenever a baby stops slavering in a high chair and moves to the kitchen table, everyone has to squeeze around to make room. We are being asked to squeeze around, to take a little bit less, but so is everyone else and they have all said "Yes" because this is making history. It is an unparalleled act of reconciliation. Without complicating it, it is formula for squeezing around the table to make room for others.
