"Madam President, I am very confident that Mr Barroso will tomorrow secure another five-year mandate as the next president of the Commission. I believe he is the right person for the job and his track record has been impressive.
I also believe that the EU will operate more effectively if the Lisbon Treaty is passed in my country. Those opposing the Treaty in Ireland are spreading scurrilous information about the minimum wage to be EUR 1.84.
People speak of green shoots as part of the economic recovery in Europe. The ratification of the Lisbon Treaty is a green shoot in itself. The investment community and people who create jobs want the Lisbon Treaty enacted.
The fact that we in Ireland, since the last referendum, have secured the right to nominate one member of the European Commission into the future is a serious change. In addition to that, the legal guarantees relating to neutrality, tax, the right to life, education and the family are important.
These guarantees are important to us. Protocols are the same as the Treaty and, of course, Ireland needs Europe; Europe needs Ireland.
I wish you the very best of luck tomorrow."@en1
