‘Gaibhneofar an tAontas in aimsir géarchéimeanna agus na réitigh a ghlacfar le linn na ngéarchéimeanna sin, is iad a bheidh de dhlúth agus d’inneach ann.’ Is minic a luaitear an líne sin de chuid Jean Monnet agus b’fhíor di an chuid is mó de stair an Aontais – go háirithe le dhá bhliain anuas agus muid ag tabhairt aghaidh le chéile ar phaindéim dhomhanda agus ar chogadh brúidiúil ionsaitheach ar leac an dorais againn.
The oft-quoted line of Jean Monnet that the Union will be “forged in crises and will be the sum of the solutions adopted for those crises” has rung true for much of the EU’s history – not least in the last two years as we have collectively faced up to a global pandemic and a brutal war of aggression on our doorstep.
