lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, it is perhaps surprising that Conservatives and myself had a separate whip on this and in the end took the view that although we are all in favour of firm budgetary control of the European Union – in fact we have suffered for far too long from the auditors refusing to sign off the accounts of the European Union – nevertheless we took a different view on this report. Why? Because it makes repeated references to the Lisbon Treaty. The message has to be sent to those who are influential in these matters: the Lisbon Treaty is dead. The Irish people in their great wisdom have rejected that Treaty by democratic vote, and although people in Brussels and people here in Strasbourg will work and cajole and bribe and intrigue to try and persuade the Irish to change their minds, the decision of the people should prevail, and in this case Ireland has stood for the people of Europe. Let their voice stand."@en1
