"Mr President, so, the Irish presidency is handed the political hot potato of the draft European Constitution. No doubt reconciling the egos of so many aged male leaders is going to prove quite a challenge; increasing public opposition to the Constitution will not help either.
I simply do not know whether a deal is possible in the course of the next few months. However, it is clear from the Irish programme that with or without the Constitution, this presidency intends to pursue a deeply integrationist agenda. Yet more agencies are to be established, all without democratic accountability and all adding to remote, bureaucratic control. This new form of government simply does not work! From the common fisheries policy to the Stability and Growth Pact, the whole system is mired in failure. Sadly, the Irish antidote to all this appears to be 'more of the same'."@en1
