I, too, welcome Deputy John Bruton. This series of three speakers has been remarkably interesting. Each has had a different style, giving a sense of novelty which would not have obtained had the three come before the House together to give their views. I admire the Deputy's force of opinion and determination. Life is odd and throws up events. The Deputy has been an ideal person to fill his particular post at the Convention. I was interested in his comments on common foriegn and security policy because the Iraq crisis has focused all our minds on the obvious path of aggrandisement upon which the United States has embarked. It cannot continue because it might gobble up Iraq today but tomorrow it might be another country which is gobbled up.
