Cuffe rails against no campaign’s ‘neocons and Trotskyites’

“NEOCONS, Trotskyites and Spuc-ers” opposed to the Lisbon Treaty have dominated the campaign much to the yes camp’s frustration, Green Party TD Ciarán Cuffe said yesterday.

Mr Cuffe was speaking at a press conference with his party colleagues, Energy Minister Eamon Ryan and Senator Deirdre de Burca, in which they outlined their belief that the treaty would prove beneficial for the environment.

They were joined at the conference by broadcaster Duncan Stewart, who made a passionate plea for voters to support the treaty and attacked Libertas, one of the groups campaigning for a no vote.
