Seanad debates

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

 

Let us get a "Yes" vote for the Nice treaty and the rest will fall into place. There is a commitment by the Government, and by all parties across the board, to ensure that the forum on Europe will provide a successful route for our future in Europe. We will also have the Seanad as a watchdog to monitor legislation and the powers of the joint Oireachtas committee will be enhanced to ensure that any proposals or Bills that come from Brussels will be scrutinised so that the public at large will connect with the process.
