As legislators, we are privileged to have the opportunity to absorb – I am not so sure we are able to absorb them all – the complexities of the EU through the Minister of State's active involvement in this Chamber, in the Oireachtas Joint Committee on European Affairs, in the National Forum on Europe and several other fora. I ask him to respond again to the fears people had during the first Nice referendum and to a lesser extent in the second referendum? It is a somewhat like that other cliché "It won't go away, they are still out there". I refer here to the issue of neutrality. At yesterday's meeting of the Joint Committee on European Affairs, I raised a question about the competency and the apparent overlap of various articles which seems to suggest a need for clarification. The Minister of State agreed – I am glad that The Irish Times covered his response – about the need for clarity where common foreign and security policy issues are concerned and the fact that there is not an ultimate primacy over Irish constitutional law in that regard.
