The Oireachtas Joint Committee on European Affairs has taken a lead role in advancing the concept of a European day, to be held on 10 May. Initially, the proposal was that only the Lower House would be involved in this event. Yesterday, it again came up for discussion at the joint committee and, as I informed the Cathaoirleach, I objected to a European day unless it reflects both Houses of the Oireachtas.
