We have a long way to go to ensure that the public will buy into the new treaty. I agree with the Minister of State's closing remarks, which were a repeat of the Minister, Deputy Cowen's, statement that we have nothing to fear and everything to gain from a renewed Europe. When people think it through, they will come to that conclusion. In today's Ireland, we have moved significantly away from the views held on Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1970s and 1980s the Irish people saw the word "Europe" as meaning opportunity, an opening and a new way forward. During the 1990s, instead of seeing opportunities, people saw certain doubts and fears. As we witnessed during the debates on the Nice treaty, it was not a question of what we would get from Europe but what we would lose to Europe. We almost feared the cost of success. This debate is before us and we must be ready to address it.
