People will not be ‘scared’ into vote for Lisbon

THE financial crisis would not “scare” people into voting yes if a second Lisbon referendum was held, according to Socialist Party Euro-election candidate, Joe Higgins.

He said the EU would be blamed for the credit crisis and this would become a big issue during the referendum campaign.

Four people who supported a no vote in June’s referendum attended the final meeting yesterday of the Oireachtas sub-committee on Ireland’s future in Europe.
