People who have been opposed to every treaty and who have always been on the "No" side of every referendum put forward the proposition that the Constitution will be more or less swept aside to be superseded by an over-arching European superstate. This will not be the case. The Union will only be responsible for the areas in which it has competence. The Constitution is supreme and will remain so. It is quite wrong to suggest that the Constitution will, in some way, become subservient to Europe. Irish law will certainly be adjusted as a result of our membership of the EU. That has always been the case and it will continue to be – in my view, beneficially so.
