I fear for what will happen to public opinion when it becomes clear that Ireland has become a net giver to the EU rather than a taker from it, yet the arguments for being part of Europe are just as strong when one takes away the economic considerations. The economic argument has been to the fore in forming our attitudes over the past 30 years. We have consistently argued how beneficial it is for us economically. I am concerned that the public will not be ready to make that shift in opinion. This is far from being airy-fairy theorising. This is a problem that we will need to face up to within a relatively short timeframe. I am not sure when we must hold a referendum, perhaps the Minister of State will tell us.
