Seanad debates

Friday, 21 March 2003

There is no advantage to be gained in going over the ground of the last few weeks because we are faced with a new reality – the war has started – and we must live with the consequences of that decision. I hope that, following on the statement issued last night by the leaders of Europe, they see the restoration of unity as an imperative. That is the most positive aspect of the statement, when one strips away the other aspirations in the resolution. There is a bottom line that there seems to be a willingness among nations with divergent views to work together to try to repair the fault-line which has developed in the European Union as a result of this tragedy. That is the only way forward.
