Dick says do it again
Minister for European Affairs, Dick Roche says that the Lisbon Treaty hasn't gone away. On RTÉ this morning he told us that in 'his personal opinion a referendum is the appropriate response to the position we are in'. He means a referendum is the only answer to a referendum.
He is, I suspect, responding to another kite flown by his party colleague, Mar O'Rourke, who advocates passing portions of the treaty by legislation.
One attempts to evade a democratic decision, another advocates ignoring it. That's democracy for you!
