"Alliance for a weaker Ireland" won't win

Written by Libertas

The Irish Alliance for Europe don't have a monopoly on being pro-European, and they should wake up to the fact that "pro-Europe" does not always equate with "Pro-Brussels", Libertas is saying today. Libertas Campaign Director David Cochrane was responding to the groups announcement that they will spend €750,000 on a campaign to scare Irish people into supporting the Lisbon treaty. He said that it was important that the group stuck to the facts of the Treaty, and avoided political points scoring. "I have only one question for the Alliance for Europe. Why is it a good idea for Ireland to give up its right to veto future world trade agreements, given the risk of the current round of talks to the Irish farming community? It's a simple question. Otherwise I welcome their commitment to Europe. It's very laudable. It's simply unfortunate that they think that a commitment to Europe means joining with Bertie Ahern and Enda Kenny in trying to sell the Irish people a contract for a weaker Ireland".
