Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister of State for coming before the House. As a child of the EU – I was born in 1973 – I wish to hear from him how he would make the EU relevant to my generation, members of which have grown up in the EU and do not know any life outside it. It remains a challenge for all of us, when we speak to people under 30 years of age, to explain what life was like before the EU and how Ireland's being a member of it has changed our lives for the better. This is an area at which the convention could look.
