I listened intently to the Taoiseach's response to Deputy Boyd Barrett yesterday when the Taoiseach said he did not believe every trade deal the European Commission engaged in should be put to a referendum. Does the Taoiseach believe Mercosur should have to be ratified by individual parliaments or by referendums, or does the Taoiseach believe the Commission should be able to ratify that directly without consultation with national capitals' parliaments?
