This afternoon Eurobarometer survey No. 58 was published. Its first conclusion is that with regard to EU enlargement, Ireland is the best-informed member state and very supportive of enlargement. I have always said that the Irish vote on enlargement was an act of generosity by the Irish people. We could have been the dog in the manger, but we were not. When I travelled around the country I was inspired by the fact that people had questions, and rightly so, because the Nice treaty was far from being a perfect document. I had the job of selling it to virtually 4 million Irish people and I knew all about its imperfections by the time the campaign was over. Senator Ryan grasped the essence of the Irish vote, and I compliment him, because this was the first treaty where we could have done damage to other people but we did not.
