Hr. formand, jeg stemte imod betænkningen om Nice-traktaten, men jeg finder det ironisk, at mine kolleger fra de største politiske partier i Irland, som kritiserede den irske nej-kampagne med, at der ikke var grund til kritik, i dag støttede en betænkning, der er særdeles kritisk over for Nice-traktaten.
Mr President, I voted against this report on the Nice Treaty, but I found it ironic that my colleagues from the main political establishment parties in Ireland, who criticised the no-campaign in Ireland saying we have no grounds for criticism, endorsed a report today which is extremely critical of the Nice Treaty.
