Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, on Tuesday called on the Irish government to finally go ahead and schedule a date for the Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. Ireland has pledged earlier that it will hold such a vote before the end of October.

He made this statements in a press conference after a meeting with Jan Fischer, Czech Primer Minister and President-in-office of the Council, where they prepared the contents of the June European Council.

  • NO vote = we are still in the EU, like we are now, and the EU must be more accountable to the people of Europe. It stops the runaway power of the EU parliament and its gravy train expenses.

    YES vote = no way back, we can't undo mistakes made in the treaty or the EU, our say in EU is halved. Some countries say is doubled.

    The mature thing is to stand up and tell EU to correct the problems, not to give in to the accusing tut-tutting of EU politicians trying to tell us we should be embarrassed.

  • Hey Borosso, we said No! Now Feck off you fascist.

  • If it weren't for the government there wouldn't be a referendum. It would be rightfully decided by the Oireachtas. Respect the Oireachtas and vote YES on the Lisbon treaty.

  • If 55% vote yes on Friday and 45% vote no, then that is the democratic decision of the Irish people. They've heard all the arguments of both sides. So, if they finally opt for yes, that is their free choice. To say that they are being brainwashed is to lose sight of the fact that they're making up their minds on the basis of having heard all of the arguments.

  • IMF runs the EU Council, which runs the EU.

    EU v IMF? The IMF is the head, the EU the arm.

    We don't need either.

    Vote NO

  • The 1916 Centennial is only 6 years away. How could one possibly celebrate this on a YES result?

    Ignore all Government Propaganda and wake up to reality.

    A NO vote will utilize the Irish Constitution to protect us from up and coming EU Fascism.
