Ireland says NO

I am very disappointed by your very biased response to the decision of the majority of the the Irish vote against implementing the Lisbon Treaty. Your choice of Denis McShane et al to discuss the Irish vote was totally biased, and they were very ignorant in their response to Kathy Sinnott who gave a very good insight to the reason behind the Irish vote. We Irish have the right to be heard! Europe beware! We will not be trodden upon. We have learnt from 800 years of being downtrodden by the British.
