lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I canvassed and voted in favour of the Nice referendum in Ireland and was disappointed with the result, but, I hasten to add, I fully accept the democratic decision taken by the electorate in my country. The will of the Irish people must be respected. We should not rush into a debate. It is time for reflection and analysis. A debate at this time would only suit the many Members in this House who are opposed to giving the eastern and central Europeans the opportunity to share in the economic growth we are enjoying in the European Union. Clarification is undoubtedly necessary. Let there be no ambiguity: the Irish people are a generous people. They have a social conscience and favour enlargement. This matter will be resolved within Ireland; we do not need any interference from outside, from Members of this House, whether they are for it or against it. The Irish people will resolve their own problems. Any future debate here should follow the debate in our own country."@en1
