No provision for veto on agriculture issues

IFA Munster vice-president Seán O’Leary (Letters, May 29) appears to accept that Ireland will retain its veto on a world trade deal post-Lisbon.

That is understandable given recent statements both from Brussels and the pro-treaty camp here, but it is not substantiated by any reference to the text of the treaty.

In fact, nowhere does it state that any country will retain a veto on any deal affecting agriculture.
