Ireland for Europe

Check out the website for www.irelandforeurope.ie, a new non- political group set up to campaign for a YES vote in the Lisbon 2 Treaty Referendum to be held in early October. Headed up by former MEP and President of the European Parliament Pat Cox. Ireland for Europe can be contacted by text YES to 51444. The campaign was launched in Dublin yesterday at a well attended event.

Mary Lou the Part-time MEP

It may be fitting at a time when many workers are being forced to go Part-Time that Sinn Fein have decided to offer the Dublin electorate a 1/2 time MEP. Because if the records of the EU Parliament are to be believed then Mary Lou McDonald has been a part-time MEP for the past 5 years. Now I accept that MLM is entitled to maternity leave, but 50% attendance, come on even the spin meisters of SF can’t spin that one. In her defense MLM said the reason her attendance last year (2008) was so poor is that she was in Dublin fighting the Lisbon Treaty. I dont buy that she was elected to represent us in Brussels & Strasburg and thats where she should be. So come on MLM , own up you were skiving when you should have been at work, plain and simple. I for one wont be giving Mary Lou a vote (not that that will come as any surprise to any one who knows me).

The EU is where its at – Vote on 5th June – have your say

Now more than ever the EU has a vital role to play in the economic recovery of Ireland.
THat is why I believe its so important that we go to the polls on the 5th June and elect the people we want to represent us in this inportant forum.
