It will simply not be possible for any representative of the Irish people this day next week to say to the rest of our colleagues on this Continent that the Irish people voted against the Nice treaty for reasons which have nothing to do with enlargement. This is about enlargement: if we reject Nice it will rightly be construed as a rejection of enlargement by the Irish people. We are in a pivotal position, one in which we have never found ourselves before. The people are making a decision in which our national interest is scarcely at stake, but which will hugely affect the rest of the Continent and determine its future. We have the opportunity, as the Minister says, to do a lot of good, to take away that last brick in the Berlin wall, as it has been put. We also have an unparalleled and unprecedented opportunity to screw up the rest of the Continent. I hope that before people decide how to vote they will contemplate not just our own self-interest – which is on all our minds to a greater or lesser extent – but also the greater good of the rest of the Continent.
