Seanad debates

Thursday, 27 November 2003

Address by Ms Nuala Ahern, MEP.

 

The new constitution might be completed by December but it is probable that it will fall to us to deal with it. I prefer the way it was drawn up to the manner in which the Nice treaty was cobbled together and the way business was done previously. Our citizens do not expect us to behave in that way. The Convention on the Future of Europe was inclusive and open and involved Governments from across the Union, which was a clear change. I also welcome the inclusion of human rights as a central element in the new constitution. I am inclined to be favourable towards it, although I will wait before making a final judgment.
