This was why the forum on Europe was founded. I compliment its chairman, Senator Maurice Hayes. He was intuitive enough to know how to guide the debate on the future of Europe. He took it away from Dublin Castle and brought it to the four corners of Ireland. He invited anyone who was interested to engage in a free exchange of ideas and opinions on how to move forward. I congratulate him on having the foresight to know what was needed and to tap into the fundamentals of Europe.
