Lisbon Treaty – No-one in the Government has read it!

I’m shocked to hear that neither the Taoiseach nor the Tánaiste has read the Lisbon Treaty, yet they urge us to support it. The Tánaiste in particular made a right fool of herself by saying that large countries had more than one EU Commissioner, which in fairness used to be true, but not for several years. And now we hear that Ireland’s current EU Commissioner, Charlie McCreevy, hasn’t read the Treaty either.

Has anyone in the Government read the Treaty? If not, how do they expect us to support something they can’t even read? It’s so ridiculous, would be funny if it wasn’t so serious.
