The point made about Van Rompuy's programme is important and this is an issue on which the Seanad could reflect. We will push hard with regard to the 2020 strategy because there is no time to lose and in that sense it is a case of moving on constantly with difficult choices. We have to make our way while at the same time having other leaders regard Ireland as a country that is not afraid to make political decisions and where its people are moving towards better opportunities and better days ahead.
