    Gay Mitchell being very critical of FG on the News at One. He said that it is not a party of 'una doce una voce'. Gay getting a stab at Enda Kenny?

    About time. If the pro-Lisbon parties get together on transfers, it could mean that we don't send any ney-sayers to Eurpe.
    The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.

    Lisbon has finally gotten some traction as a Euro election in the last week. And it is the pro-Lisbon parties that have beating that drum. Quite how they reckon this will be of benefit to them I fail to see seeing as the majority voted No including a majority of FG and Labour voters.

    No way Jose. All anti-Lisbon voters should vote for anti-Lisbon candidates that will defend our right to say no instead of slavishly bending the knee to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels who stubbornly resist giving the citizens of Europe a greater say in the decision-making processes of the EU.

    There is a logic to Garrett's suggestion.

    The biggest european issue here is the Lisbon Treaty. It is not unreasonable to ask supporters of the LT to transfer to candidates who support the Lisbon Treaty in the EP elections only.

    Similiarly for those opposed to the LT.

    What is amusing is that many of those who are against the LT will have far more difficulty taking this line than those who support it. The election of Joe Higgins with rightwing euro septic votes would be a great laugh!

    Eoin Ryan getting thick and losing the rag, Gay Mitchell standing up for Eoin Ryan has exposed him as a closet FF, Gay you will never get a vote from me and I will now campaign against you aswell as Eoin.
    Make your voice known, vote against Fianna Fail for a fairer Ireland.

    If Joe is elected or Mary Lou either,it is no laughing matter, it is the wishes of the electorate and they have as much right to be respected as anyone else
