More Lisbon!


Will the chatter about the Lisbon treaty rejection ever end? Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheal Martin is reportedly not impressed at the comments of Vaclav Klaus, Czech President. He called Mr Klaus' comments 'inappropriate'. Mr Klaus was in Dublin to meet with Libertas organiser, Declan Ganley, who opposed the Lisbon treaty.

But , do the Irish people care about the Lisbon Treaty anymore? Its arguable that we never did care about it anyway. Is it too much for the Irish people to handle? Or do we just not like the EU taking more control of our affairs? Ultimately, these times are testing the old Boston vs Berlin question- are we really happy to be increasingly enveloped in the gigantic union that is the EU?
