Barroso target of a disgraceful attack

THE attack by former MEP Patricia McKenna on the president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, when he addressed a National Forum on Europe meeting in Dublin recently, was disgraceful and highly offensive.

She said Barroso should stop interfering in Irish affairs and that he should stay out of the country during this EU referendum campaign.

Barroso was invited to address the National Forum on Europe meeting and, after his address, took questions from all participants, including Ms McKenna.
