Seanad debates
Thursday, 13 November 2003
Address by Ms Mary Banotti, MEP.
Everybody is aware of the cut and thrust that was involved in getting the final document from the convention. Some will jump up and down and find something wrong with it; indeed, everybody will find something wrong with it. However, it is important that it comes into force, if only for practical reasons. Several Senators were kind enough to refer to the amount of legislation I have been involved with in the last 19 years. There have been massive amounts of legislation, some of it so technical that I have regularly asked myself how a bunch of politicians, who know nothing about some of these highly technical matters, can possibly deal with it.
