Disgraceful comment NDS.. you should be ashamed of yourself
Did all the Yes voters read and fully understand the Treaty ?
I have nothing to be ashamed about. The treaty did not change the EU's powers on abortion on iota, did not change our veto on tax, while 188C 4 b fully protected health, education an social services from privatisation, destination taxes are impossible to introduce under EU competition rules, conscription was bullsh1t yet that didn't stop Coir telling parents outside schools to vote no or their children would be conscripted. It also didn't stop them putting lies on leaflets about 20% EU tax, and about the EU introduce mandatory 1 parent families.
I have nothing to be ashamed about. The same cannot be said for Sinn Fein, Coir and Libertas who told lie after lie after lie and who privately used to laugh about the fact that, in the words of one Coir member I know "there are so many dumb people out there" who would believe every wild claim they made. Sinn Fein could perhaps explain why they lied about the Referendum Commission's comments on tax, issuing press releases saying that the referendum commission "agreed" with
SF even after the commission made it explicitly clear that they did not, twice. And why indeed Ferris was issuing press releases demanding the EU Commission issue a statement on Ireland's WTO veto ONE WEEK after the Commission HAD issued a statement, a statement at the time
SF DELIBERATELY misquoted.
