Le Pen to promote 'no vote' on EU treaty during Ireland visit

Europe's far-right led by French right-wing politician Jean-Marie Le Pen warned Irish voters that the country risks becoming "a local authority in a new supra-national body" if they vote yes in the referndum on the new EU reform treaty.

Le Pen's aide and fellow eurosceptic French MEP Bruno Gollnisch made the comment after confirming that both of them are expected to visit Ireland in May ahead of the referendum, after receiving an invitation from the Law Society at UCD.
