Aoife - you popped my wall cherry! Hope it was as good for you as it was for me.... Those clips are a while old now, but I think I have a tape recorder around here somewhere... Not really up with this technology lark, still figuring it out. You'll notice I stole a lot of your/Deirdre's photos! Hope you don't mind. Beidh mé i dteagmháil leat!

Dear Irish friends and friends of Europe, I am a citizen of a EU member state. In my country, we have not been allowed to vote on the future of Europe, because we already voted NO, and they knew we would vote NO again. You, our friends in Ireland, alone have this right and are called to vote on the "Lisbon Treaty" on June 12th. I reject this Treaty as undemocratic in conception and in content. Please, vote NO on this Treaty for me as a first step to building a common social, ecological, democratic and peaceful Europe.
