I noticed that the Minister stated the European Parliament is allowed a derogation to allow Irish legislators and Members of Parliament to adjust. If the legislation is to be accepted, it should not be passed at least until the next general election or local elections in 2009. That will allow people to make a choice and adjust. From the Government's point of view, this will allow for all the legal issues to be thrashed out and solved. The Minister is allowing circumstances to arise in which there are good grounds for a legal challenge. If such a challenge is successful, we will all be left in a mess, particularly those who have given up their seats.
