The purpose of this exercise in the House is to ensure there is dialogue. This aspect needs to be reinforced. Since the second referendum on the Nice treaty the Government has attempted, through this Chamber, to create dialogue in this area. In addition, the Joint Committee on European Affairs, of which I am a member, has at all times been in contact with the various processes of the convention charged with drafting the constitution on the future of Europe. Furthermore, the National Forum on Europe has gone out of its way to meet at various venues throughout the country in an attempt to correct the democratic deficit. We are doing our best and it is why we ask Ms Scallon to do her best to get her message across.
