The Irish Government's deal on the LIsbon Treaty

On Sunday 21st June, Irish broadcaster and journalist, Karen Coleman discussed the new deal struck by the Irish Government on the LIsbon Treaty. The Irish have been given guarantees on issues such as neutrality, abortion and workers' rights. Concerns over these were some of the reasons why the Irish voted No to the Lisbon Treaty last year. Karen discussed the new deal with her guests on her show, The Wide Angle on Newstalk106-108.

Karen Coleman is so obviously pro Treaty. So much for unbiased broadcasting

I remember another European tyrant offering guarantees.

Believe them at your peril!

You are not voting about the Lisbon Treaty, you're voting about the future of Ireland, Britain, France, Germany, etc. as separate countries.

Decent,democratic,law-abiding people all over Europe are praying that the brave Irish vote NO again to this MADNESS ! We too want to keep our constitutions and parliamentary democracies ! We too want to keep our health systems,legal systems,school systems,own police and military. Ireland PLEASE say NO again to the 2nd Lisbon PUTSCH attempt ! For yourselves,for your children and for the millions of us denied a say by a tiny un-elected "elite" in Brussels.

Greetings from still free Germany.
