This is a timely moment to allude to the role of the Minister of State with responsibility for European affairs, Deputy Roche, the Government representative at the Convention. From the Government's point of view, he is doing an excellent job and there is no question that he has made a significant contribution to the work of the Convention. Not every member state, even some of the bigger ones, has sent senior Ministers or their Ministers for Foreign Affairs to represent them at the Convention. In saying this I am trying to head off a pointless argument that we should switch horses at this stage, which would not be a realistic option.
