Lisbon - It Hasn’t Gone Away You Know

While the recession dominates headlines in Ireland at the moment and most of the attention about the Lisbon Treaty focuses on whether it will be ratified by Poland or the Czech Republic, ultimately saving face for Ireland, there has been a steady undercurrent of activity by parties involved in the No Campaign.

The No decision in the Lisbon Treaty has become part of Irish folklore now, inspiring a couple of videos since the referendum:

Cowen’s Downfall (Another remix of Downfall)

Shamrockfield (Created as part of the Darklight Festival)

It will be very interesting to see how Sarkozy reacts when he finally makes his visit to Ireland, only to be greeted by an unappreciative audience.

    It certainly hasn’t gone away considering the government will probably have another go at it. The people have spoken with a No but that kind of democracy isn’t good enough for our government or the EU. What will be interesting is how our government spin part 2.

    Agreed Stiofáin. Think that Lisbon part 2 will have greater impact on the government’s credibility than the economy.
