Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.
10:30 am
Feargal Quinn (Independent)
I also congratulate Deputy John Bruton on the work he has done. It is highly admired. Sometimes we use big words to try to sell things. I talked to somebody recently who had travelled to Barcelona for the weekend because he and his wife had got the flights at such a cheap rate. He credited this to the European Union, Peter Sutherland and the late Jim Mitchell. He knew that Ryanair could not have existed without them. He was pinpointing the specific advantages. When we are trying to draw attention to the benefits of Europe, it could be an easier task because there are so many good things for which we can be thankful.
