Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I thank Mr. De Rossa for his informative responses. He mentioned a greater role for national parliaments. How does he see that happening? I also thank the Leader for arranging this visit. That should not be overlooked.

I anticipate a flaming row on one issue in the future. I cannot foresee the constitution over-ruling the national Constitution but if I correctly understood Mr. De Rossa's reply to Senator Dardis, he sees it as a forerunner to a federalist system rather than a union of nation states. Perhaps he would expand on that.
