UCC’s conferring of Barroso is a disgrace

I agree with Phil Prendergast, MEP, regarding the conferring of an honorary doctorate on Jose Manuel Barroso by UCC.

As a graduate of UCC, and a retired member of staff, I am astounded at this honour being bestowed on Barroso by our beloved university.

I remember his arrogant, vitriolic response when an Irish MEP suggested that Ireland should be helped by the EU with our debt.
