Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.
10:30 am
Mary Henry (Independent)
A couple of years ago I was the Irish representative on a panel of EU judges of a competition for school children to devise a motto for Europe. The motto they devised was "Unity in Diversity". It was interesting that many of the children wrote about the strength there is in diversity. With this Convention, will European citizens be too easy to control when there is so much conformity? Is there a strength in diversity that we should cherish?
