    Ireland interests are best secured within a more dynamic EU. Vote YES to Lisbon.

    I'm heading down early on Saturday morning, I think it's gonna be a big one, it's not an Ard Fheis so there's no voting which usually generates a crowd but given the polls & general mood around the party I'd say it'll be good.

    I think the party are planning to use it to launch their reform proposals in primarily the health & the economy sectors with up & coming candidates being given some air time!

    Needless to say the main focus will be on Kenny's big speech on Saturday night!

    Love to be there but can't make it home this weekend.

    Was at a branch meeting this week and it wasn't mentioned at all. That said its a long trip across the country.

    I'd honestly love to go to hear the nonsense being spouted. I wonder how many times words like competitiveness and business friendly will be used?

    Probably almost as many times as you use words like "working class"

    I doubt an FGer even knows what the working class is. In fact I bet they don't even know what Bruton and Varadkar really mean when they talk about competitiveness.

    I bet you don't know what the working class is when you talk about it.
    Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.

    I've defined it many times

    People who must sell their labour in order to pay for day to day expenses.
