Former Cork County Cllr. Martin Hallinan, Youghal Mayor Sandra McLellan and Deputy Mayor Michelle Hennessy with Thelma Reilly, Sheila Whyte, Linda Regan, Tony Hennessy, Mark Morrison, Eileen Griffin, Christy Reilly and Gerald Hennessy celebrate the No vote result at the last Lisbon Treaty
On October 2nd you are being asked to vote on exactly the same Lisbon Treaty that was rejected by 900,000 voters in June 2008.
Same Treaty – Same Answer – Democracy matters. Your vote matters
The Lisbon Treaty was a bad deal for Ireland and Europe then and it is still a bad deal.
Despite claims of the Fianna Fail government to have addressed the concerns of voters they have not secured a single change to the text of the Treaty.
The Lisbon Treaty will undermine Irelands voice in Europe. We will lose our permanent right to a commissioner from 2014.
The Treaty will undermine workers rights and wage levels and damage family farms.
The Treaty will commit Ireland to a common defence and foreign policy further weakening our neutrality.
There is an alternative. A better deal is still possible. Vote NO to the Lisbon Treaty on October 2nd.
