Seanad debates

European Union (Scrutiny) Bill, 2001 changed from European Union Bill, 2001: Second Stage.

 

I reiterate what the President of the European Parliament, Pat Cox, said last week when he appealed from the bottom of his heart to the people to be broad-minded, generous and open-hearted in the decision they take on Saturday. A "Yes" vote is of absolute importance. I hope everybody on the "Yes" side of the argument will, in these last few days prior to the referendum, continue to counter the spurious arguments and campaign methods of some on the "No" side. This will help to ensure that the people will make a positive decision on Saturday not just for the future of Europe, but also for this country.
