42. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the extent to which, in the course of Ireland’s Presidency of the EU, he expects to be in a position to influence the thinking among his EU colleagues and their colleagues in their respective national parliaments towards a rediscovery of the original European ideals and visions of solidarity, collegiality, unity of purpose and commitment to a common goal; if in the course of Ireland’s Presidency, it might be possible to focus on such issues with a view to bringing about a situation whereby each nation within the Union takes ownership of the projects and commits itself to the fundamental principles; if it might be possible to establish a forum made up of all the stakeholders with the objective of identifying weaknesses in the existing structures; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
