Outside the Administration, developments in the Convention are considered in two public fora, the Oireachtas Joint Committee on European Affairs and the National Forum on Europe. I pay particular tribute to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on European Affairs and Deputy Gay Mitchell, its chairman, who has done extraordinary work in keeping abreast of developments in the Convention. Tribute is also due to the work of the National Forum on Europe which is unique both in the existing 15 member states and among the ten incoming states. It has a more proactive view as to how the issue of the Convention should be dealt with than any counterpart in any country in the European Union. It is time to recognise that when we do something in this country, we do it well.
