Seanad debates

Thursday, 13 November 2003

Address by Ms Mary Banotti, MEP.

 

My question arises from the changes in powers and scope for the European Parliament envisaged under the convention, which I hope will take place. The problem, as EM Forster said, is a case of, "Only connect". How will a smaller number of MEPs connect with a constituency in Ireland and cover all the issues? Does Ms Banotti see any utility in their being consistent debates on European issues in this Chamber that would provide MEPs with some sort of sounding board for their activities?
