  • Traitor !

  • Watch: The manmade global warming hoax. Because that is what it is, a big lie forcing us to pay more tax to "save the planet". Watch the video and make up your own mind, don't believe this lying goyim.

  • Her argument couldnt find its way out of a wet paper bag.

    Centralised beurocratic eu will stop human traffiking and non existent climate change, they actually mean higher taxes for something they made up. 1 week to our deja vu.

    Lets give it to them.

    Im voting NIL.

  • All of the issues you pointed out, Deputy Burton, can & may be sorted out by countries working as 'the EU', but only with the inclusion of democracy. Suppose there was a dire need for Europe to go to war, or introduce very severe laws to solve some other problem, ... we can still do any of these things, and in each case PEOPLE CAN BE TRUSTED TO VOTE IN A REFERENDUM (ONCE IS ENOUGH) AND MAKE ANY TOUGH DECISIONS NECESSARY.

    It's going to take some work, but let's introduce democracy to the EU.

  • What a joke. Global warming is a fallacy. Anthropogenic climate change is a lie and if you knew what you were talking about you wouldn't be pedalling such an egregious deception. 33,000 scientists and climatologists in the US alone can't be wrong. And a bigger beurocracy won't prevent the traffiking issues as suggested and furthermore the loss of our sovereignty to a supranational oligarch controlled superstate won't solve the problem. 1 small point. WE ALREADY VOTED NO, and will do so again.

  • It goes to show how weak the yes argument is when she resorts to global warming and stopping trafficking arguments....

    Let's see...

    Loss of self-determinism which is supposed to be the right of every nation?? We now get 4m out of 500m says in how to run our island.

    I wonder do people realise that this technically means we cease to be an independent nation. They can make our laws without our approval. Benefit us? How????

    Want to protect your job.. 80m turks are going to make that tougher.

  • You say that these comments are ridiculous...but then you go on to say 'this treaty is good for Ireland and moves us towards a social Europe'....explain this statement please....Adolf Hitler wanted was a 'national socialist'...he wanted a social Europe too with Germany leading it....now!, swap that for 'forigen Bankers and unelected officals'...and there you have your wish..Geeezzzz, Louiseeeeee!

  • Ask you Grandfather if he is European?....He'll tell you he is not, he is Irish....I'm Irish and it can never be changed....we are 700miles from the borders of Europe....We are Irish, not European. All the money in the EU cannot change that fact...We cannot be bought off...Not now, not ever...Leave the EU and stop the 'cow towing' and 'cap wringing'....get off yer knees...

  • " This referendum is not an Irish battle. It is a European battle fought on Irish soil between the peoples of Europe that support democracy and the elite of Europe that want an empire"

    (Roger Cole,PANA).

    Here in Germany people were denied a say but we also want to keep our own CONSTITUTION and do not want OUR LAWS to originate from an un-elected commission of rich foreigners in Brussels !

    Ireland,PLEASE VOTE NO (again) and save democracy in Europe for all our children !

  • "We do not seek to make this country a materially great country at the expense of its honour in any way whatsoever. We would rather have this country poor and indigent, we would rather have the people of Ireland eking out a poor existence on the soil; as long as they possessed their souls, their minds, and their honour. This fight has been for something more than the fleshpots of Empire"

    Liam Mellows (25 May 1895 8 December 1922)....An Irish Patriot who fought and died for Ireland
