lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the people of Ireland have spoken. I accept that. Those who say that this vote was a ‘Yes’ to Europe claim that last year’s vote was a ‘No’ to Europe. It was not. Ireland’s support for Europe was not in question last year or this year. The European Commission decided to spend a large amount of resources on a propaganda campaign about the advantages of the European Union directly before the referendum. This added to the belief that the vote was one of ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to Europe rather than ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to the Lisbon Treaty. I find this regrettable. Every person in this room must now face the clear, tough challenge ahead, that is, to recognise that many of the concerns that came to light during the referendum campaign still need to be dealt with. People are particularly worried about salaries, about workers’ rights and about public services, as well as about non-militarisation and the voice of the smaller states. This time round, the people of Ireland were told that if they voted ‘No’ for a second time, Ireland would be left alone, isolated in the face of the economic crisis. Those who supported the Treaty as a treaty for jobs and for investment should now provide the jobs and the recovery. The promises which were made should not be forgotten as soon as the result requested by the Irish Government and by EU leaders was achieved."@en1
