    De Rossa assaulted after Lisbon Treaty meeting

    Patrick Logue

    Labour MEP Prionsias De Rossa was allegedly beaten up after a public meeting to discuss the Lisbon Treaty in Dublin last night.

    Mr De Rossa (67) was involved in a fracas with a group of up to five people outside Liberty Hall after the meeting to discuss the upcoming referendum.
