Permit me to share a story which I told at the last summit meeting in Brussels about this agenda. It involves the famous Mayor Daly of Chicago, well-known in these parts for all the obvious familial reasons. In one of his many administrations he came to give the opening speech as the re-elected mayor. Someone had written the script for him and the honourable gentleman had not read the script prior to its delivery, something that would never happen in the Seanad. The speech writer had written "we commit our new administration to the achievement of ever higher plateaux of achievement", plateaux not being a very user-friendly word in anyone's mouth. The good mayor read it out and committed his new administration to the "achievement of ever higher platitudes of achievement". I tell the story because Ireland needs to put zip and attitude where today, and for the last few years, we have had platitude. We are up for it and are capable of doing it. It would be an important European contribution.
