Government needs to publish Lisbon re-run guarantees
Sinn Féin Vice President Mary Lou McDonald has this afternoon called on the Taoiseach to publish the wording of the so called legally binding guarantees to be attached to the Lisbon Treaty when it is put before the people for a second time. Ms McDonald added “it is absolutely astonishing that Brian Cowen intends updating his colleagues in Brussels on the Lisbon Treaty and the development of guarantees for Ireland’, yet feels no compulsion to extend the same courtesy to the Irish electorate.”
