Libertas accuses Govt of betraying Irish people 11/12/2008 - 12:43:08
Libertas president Declan Ganley is accusing the Irish Government of betraying the Irish people by planning to hold a second referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
Under a plan being discussed by EU leaders in Brussels, the Government will hold another referendum before the end of next October in an effort to overturn last June's 'no' vote.
The Taoiseach is seeking a number of EU declarations on issues like taxation, abortion, neutrality and the make-up of the European Commission in a bid to secure a 'yes' vote.
However, Mr Ganley says Brian Cowen is simply ignoring the fact that Irish people have already rejected the treaty.
