Kenny criticises McCreevy’s contribution to the Lisbon debate

FINE Gael leader Enda Kenny has hit out at the contribution of EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevy to the Lisbon treaty referendum campaign.

Just 24 hours after the three main political parties put on a united front for a yes vote, Mr Kenny risked causing tension with Fianna Fáil again when declaring himself unimpressed by Mr McCreevy’s recent comments.

Last week, former Fianna Fáil finance minister McCreevy admitted in an interview that he had not read all of the Lisbon treaty, and predicted there would not be 250 people in Ireland who would.
