“The Lisbon Treaty is a bad deal for Ireland. It gives the EU too much power and reduces our ability to stop decisions that are not in Ireland’s interests. It cuts our voting strength on the Council of Ministers by more than half and ends our automatic right to a Commissioner. It erodes neutrality. It allows the EU to act in the international arena in the same way as a state and to form a diplomatic corps. It seriously undermines workers’ rights and public services, and it is bad for the developing world.
“Ireland deserves better.”
10 reasons why the Lisbon Treaty is a bad deal for Ireland
1. It puts at risk our automatic right to a referendum on future changes to existing treaties.
2. It gives the EU too much power and reduces our ability to stop decisions that are not in Ireland’s interests.
3. It gives 105 additional powers to the EU on issues such as international relations, security, trade and economic policy – and in more than 60 of these areas we will lose our right to stop laws not in our national interest.
4. It creates an EU Foreign Minister and common defence/military and foreign policies and allows the EU to act on the international stage in the same way as a state and to speak on our behalf.
5. It erodes neutrality by drawing us into a common defence and obliging us to increase military spending.
6. It cuts our voting strength on the Council of Ministers by more than half.
7. It ends our automatic right to a Commissioner.
8. It seriously undermines workers’ rights and public services.
9. It mandates the EU to promote nuclear energy.
10. It undermines the EU’s commitment to tackling global poverty and inequality.
P?draig Mac Lochlainn to head Sinn F?in Lisbon Treaty campaign
DONEGAL Sinn F?in Councillor P?draig Mac Lochlainn has been appointed the party’s director of the Lisbon Treaty referendum campaign.
Speaking at the launch of the party’s Lisbon Treaty alternative in Dublin on Tuesday, Councillor Mac Lochlainn said Sinn F?in will be mounting a major campaign against the Lisbon Treaty and he is calling on people from across the political divide to get involved. He said Sinn F?in members across the country will be going door to door to distribute more than half a million newsletters setting out the party’s case against the Lisbon Treaty and why Ireland deserves better.
“Sinn F?in intends to fight a vigorous campaign against the Lisbon Treaty. We believe that it is a bad deal for Ireland and that many hundreds of thousands of people right across the island share our concerns at its implications into the future,” Councillor Mac Lochlainn said.
“This week, Sinn F?in members across the country will be going door-to-door to distribute more than half a million newsletters setting out our case against the Lisbon Treaty and why Ireland deserves better. This will be followed up by a series of regional meetings beginning in Dublin on 15 February.
“We will be encouraging as many people as possible to join the campaign against the Lisbon Treaty. It is our belief that people from across all of the political parties, despite the stated view of their leaderships, will be part of this broad campaign.”
The new director of the drive to ditch the Lisbon Treaty said that EU leaders should be sent back to the drawing board and the Irish Government should properly represent the interests of the Irish people.
IF the Treaty is defeated, P?draig Mac Lochlainn said, it will:-
1) Force our political leaders to return to the negotiating table and secure a better deal the next time round;
2) Create the opportunity for greater democracy in the EU;
3) Give the Government the backing with which to secure a specific article protecting neutrality;
4) Develop the momentum for new provisions promoting and protecting public services;
5) Give the Government the impetus to secure opt-outs from EURATOM, the European Defence Agency, and other contributions to EU military expenditure.

About me: Everyone who fights for Ireland and her freedom is a Fenian. However, it means more than that. A Fenian lives and breathes the term Ireland First throughout his or her soul. A Fenian is willing to lay down his/her freedom for the Cause of freeing Ireland from all foreigners and collaborators. A Fenian is willing to sacrifice his/her life for the defence of the Nation(included in this group of modern Fenians was Sir Theobold Wolfe Tone, a Protestant who demanded freedom for Ireland from Britain and began the modern day Republican/Nationalist movement). However, Fenian goes beyond Ireland. The Fenians were an ancient group of Celtic warriors sworn to protect ALL Celts from oppression and murder. This means our Scots comrades (including Sir William Wallace) fighting for independence from the UK are our Fenian brothers and sisters. The same goes for our Welsh Comrades and to our Cornish, Briton, and Manx Fenian warriors. Fenian goes beyond defending. It binds ALL Celts in blood, culture, and heritage. I am a Fenian and I consider it an honor to be in the same group as Sir William Wallace and Sir Theobold Wolfe Tone.

Today it angers me to see pictures of Brendan Hughes funeral and Gerry Adams carrying his coffin. In my opinion it is easy to stand up and carry a coffin when the person has died,,, it takes true strenght and conviction to carry someone when they are alive,,, but this was not in the character of Gerry Adams he walked away and turned his back on Brendan Hughes a comrade and a friend when he needed him in his later years. MAY BRENDAN HUGHES REST IN PEACE, AND I HOPE HE NOW HAS PEACE IN HEAVEN THAT HE SO MUCH SOUGHT FOR ON THIS EARTH

Myspace Layouts The shameful record of medical neglect to Irish Republican political
prisoners continues at Ireland's Portlaoise Prison!!
Aidan Hulme, long in grave pain from a poorly treated injury sustained
before he was first interned in a British prison over 6 years ago; must
have immediate and specialist care for his worsening physical condition.
Send an email and letter today to the addresses below to let the Irish
Government know you will not tolerate this barbarian treatment of an
Irish citizen in an Irish jail!
Please send an email or letter today to the Irish government bodies
listed below. Sample letter enclosed or use your own text.

-------------------
1. STATEMENT FROM PORTLAOISE POW'S, E3
This year marks the 7th anniversary of the death of volunteer Kevin
Murray due to the neglect of the Free State prison service and yet again
Republican POW's are suffering under this regime. At this moment Aidan
Hulme is lying in a cell in Portlaoise in severe pain due to a motor
accident that occurred prior to his incarceration by British forces over
six years ago.
Since his return home over a year ago he has still not received the
surgical attention he requires in order to relieve his pain and aid his
mobility. His hope in returning to Ireland was that his fellow country
men would help in his plight, but all he has received is a deaf ear and
a daily dose of 23 tablets and a morphine patch.
The more Aidan complains the more the authorities attempt to silence him
with more and more medication when all that is required is a simple
operation.
Republican prisoners have experienced this before, Kevin Murray made
numerous complaints to the medical staff in the prison and was given
glasses for 'bad eyesight' when in actual fact he had a brain tumour.
Aidan was offered an amputation in England despite the fact that a
relatively simple operation would solve his problem. Recently he needed
to go to hospital but was forced to wait a day and a half owing to the
fact that he is a political prisoner whereas criminals have much better
access than republicans.
The state of medical attention is sub standard with delays of days to
see a doctor and months to see a dentist. This situation is intolerable
and we will not wait for the death of another comrade before we act.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing with grave concerns for the health and welfare of Aidan
Hulme, a Republican political prisoner at Portlaoise Prison.
Since being repatriated to Portlaoise in 2006, Aidan has continued to
suffer great pain from injuries sustained over six years ago before
being interned in Britain. It was his great hope, as mine, that his
repatriation to Ireland would finally result in the proper medical care
he so badly needs.
Aidan Hulme desperately needs surgery, not more pills. Currently he is
taking 23 tablets for pain per day. He has made numerous complaints and
requests for surgical attention to the Portlaoise prison governor and to
the medical officer, but has only received more pain pills in response.
You will recall, as I do, the 2001 death of another Republican prisoner,
Kevin Murray, who had also made numerous complaints and requests for
medical attention. Like Aidan, all that Kevin Murray received from
Portlaoise doctors were tablets. When the massive brain tumor was
finally discovered, it was far too late to operate, and Kevin was
released to hospice to die.
Please allow Aidan Hulme the simple operation that he requires. Under
international Human Rights laws including the Geneva Convention for the
Treatment of Prisoners of War; the European Convention for the
Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment;
and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; Aidan Hulme is entitled
to the same comforts of any Irish citizen while in your care.
