European Communities (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
The media have a huge role to play and I wonder if we will get two minutes of media time tonight. There are five or six of us here and they will say there are only four present. This discussion concerns an important element of ratification of the Nice treaty which will launch the accession of the ten countries who are ready to join the European Union. It is an opportunity for the media to tell the public we are trying to reach out to them. We cannot do it alone. I ask the media to give us a chance to do the work for itself and for Seán Citizen.
