| The Government is planning a potentially controversial EU/US summit in Ireland towards the end of its presidency and is expecting George W Bush to attend. Asked about security concerns in light of the US leader’s recent visit to England, Mr Roche said the country had a responsibility to fulfil its role as EU host. “Even if we had disruption for one day, if there’s an opportunity for us to bring some peace to the world, to fulfil our responsibility as the lead state of Europe, we should seize the day,” he said. |
