Are we ready now, as a people, to take advantage of facilitating the successful conclusion of this historical political process in terms of our future relations with the member states of the European Union from which we can only derive further benefits or are we going to set our face against the enlargement process and by voting "No" create a huge dilemma by creating a degree of political and legal uncertainty as to how the enlargement can then proceed, with all the risks and downsides for Ireland that will be a consequence of a "No" vote, and do so in the sure knowledge that it will delay the enlargement for an indefinite period until an as still unknown solution is found with all the very negative and adverse political consequences that will undoubtedly flow in respect of the way Ireland's commitment to Europe is viewed, not only by the applicant states, but also by the existing members?
