We must think in terms of maintaining this debate and not necessarily closing it down. If issues remain at the end of the Convention which must eventually be sorted out in an Intergovernmental Conference, one would hope the Intergovernmental Conference would embrace the same spirit of openness and transparency and that the leaders would not simply retreat behind closed doors again and come out with a fudged document. Now that the debate has been started, it should be kept going in as open a way as possible. The Irish position might well be reserved on some of the issues yet to come and the fine tuning that will take place, particularly in relation to balance. There is a lot to be said for not unduly unravelling the settlement arrived at in Nice in terms of presentation to the people and otherwise.
