The Intergovernmental Conference meets next week and one of the issues before it is the draft constitutional treaty. The Government will have an input into that but, given the fact that the forum for Europe has produced a summary of the treaty and that the draft treaty is available, it would be useful for the Seanad to examine the treaty in the weeks after the Intergovernmental Conference and give its views. One of the suggestions for Seanad reform is that the Seanad would have a more meaningful role with regard to European matters.
