Lisbon Treaty is a bad deal for Ireland, says MEP

THE letter from Prionsías de Rossa (‘EU treaty: SF and le Pen on the same side’, January 23) was very instructive in that he did not put forward even one reason why Irish voters should support the Lisbon Treaty.

Instead he trots out nonsense which many in his own party wouldn’t accept, never mind the general public.

For the record I firmly believe that Ireland’s place is in Europe. Co-operation with our European partners is valuable and must continue.
