Second Lisbon poll would be foolish, warns O’Rourke

A SENIOR Fianna Fáil TD has warned the Government it would be “foolish” to hold a second referendum on the Lisbon treaty.

Speaking at a meeting of the cross-party committee on European affairs, former government minister Mary O’Rourke said a second referendum would also be defeated.

“We will not be able to carry another Lisbon… it is foolish, foolish talk,” said Ms O’Rourke, who is a member of the committee.
