Seanad debates
Thursday, 10 October 2002
Address by President of the European Parliament.
Senator Norris has already corrected me for slightly distorting the words of James Joyce while maintaining the essential meaning. I will now misquote Bertholt Brecht who had a wonderful line, apropos of Senator Dardis's earlier question, to the effect that "You cannot change the people". One can change the vote or the question posed in a referendum, but one cannot change the people. The people at The Irish Times should read Bertholt Brecht and they would not make mistakes.
