Sir, - Perhaps now that the Irish people have given Europe a rebuff, the Government will address the issue of European integration with more openness than they have in the past. The rejection of Nice points to the fact that while the Irish people can see the benefits of closer economic integration, we simply don't want to be ruled by Europe as part of a European super state.
What exactly is the overall plan for European integration? Where will it stop? What's the end goal? Perhaps clear answers to basic questions would allow the public to make informed decisions in the future. - Yours, etc.,
Robert Walsh, Glenfarne Road, Raheny, Dublin 5.
