Editorial Comment: The Lisbon Treaty

TOMORROW, we decide what kind of a country we will live in. We will decide what kind of prospects we will offer our children.

We will decide if we want to copper-fasten our place at the centre of one of the world’s most powerful trading blocs. We will decide if we wish to play a full part in the community that has brought unprecedented peace to Europe and unprecedented prosperity to Ireland. We will decide if we want to endorse the project that played a lead role in the positive advancement of this society, especially for women.

We will decide if we want to remain proactive members of the community that has done more than any other to build our infrastructure.
